Harriet Hoult

Harriet Hoult is a British-born artist, currently working from her studio in West London. Her painting is process-led, with materiality and colour at the heart. The pieces are abstract and explore themes such as home, a sense of belonging, and physical and psychological boundaries. Each painting aims to create a rich sensory experience, along with a bold expression of texture, composition, and color. There is often a sculptural element, to take you beyond the intellectual process, to an underlying visceral experience.

She has spent time living and painting in Cornwall, which has had a strong influence on her work. During her time in Cornwall she attended Newlyn Art School and was mentored by ceramicist and artist Sandy Brown. Her paintings have been shown in galleries, art fairs, and private collections in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and the US.

"I am endlessly fascinated by space and spaces and I explore this through my work. I am interested in how different spaces can promote distinct responses, and how sometimes, you can physically sense the energy of a space, almost as if the space is touching your skin. For me, space can also offer silence, and in that silence I am held, nurtured, and contained. When I am painting, I never plan a piece beforehand, I just let the paint, mark by mark be my guide." - Harriet Hoult

"These pieces are a continuation of the "All These Spaces" collection and are the last in the series. They are the final works that she has painted in her Shepherds Bush studio before she moves to a new workspace. Space and belonging is a central theme to all of Harriet's work so it seems fitting that these paintings were created at a time when her outer space is changing and a new sense of belonging may emerge in her new surroundings. We look forward to see how the change of space will affect her work." - Harriet Hoult, All These Spaces

"Through this collection, and specifically my use of colour and texture, I continue to explore the viscreral nature of space and spaces. The idea of actually being able to feel the quality of a space and to interact with it." - Harriet Hoult
