Today marks the release of the ❤️ Carly Ashdown - Summer Collection 2020: twelve images produced as limited edition prints, more special 'Boutique Deluxe Resin' editions and accompanying & stand alone Originals; the artist continues to study the female form and brings in a musical dimension with the artworks: 'Fire,' 'Lightning,' 'Midnight Blues,' 'Quiet Song' and 'Twilight.' - 8th August 2020
Released today is the Carly Ashdown - Original Watercolour Collection, nine original artworks that really shows off her cutting edge style and how she approaches her subject matter, purposely, with an eye that 'less' on the canvas is 'more.' - 28th September 2019
Carly has a very special impressionistic style that art collectors have grown to love over the last few years, since she was signed as a published artist in 2015 by Washington Green Fine Art but she now has the creative freedom to explore this one step further…
28th May 2019 saw Carly sign with Wishbone Fine Art Publishers, a perfect fit for this publisher who specialises in modern 'feeling' art that appeals to today's art market.
On viewing her paintings, your gaze is instantly drawn to the figures, women, children etc on the limited edition prints and canvases; while backgrounds, often white or with just lights dabs of colour, allows you very much to come up with your own narrative story.
She is also versatile, from reinvigorating the classic female nude such as the limited edition: ‘The Lake’ and then producing prints of strong females, such as the Steampunk themed title ‘The Battle’.
It is interesting that before becoming a professional artist, she came from a television background and perhaps this gave her the visual flexibility to see people from different angles, from different vantage points (visually and emotionally) and how both a TV camera and a canvas can capture a figure in different ways. Training as a Psychotherapist in London and volunteering with the charity ‘Mind’ doubtless raised her understanding further of the human condition.
Carly first makes the basic sketch of the painting and then approaches by placing colours and layers on the surface. Her aim is to create an emotional response in you and for you to think. Notice as well, that painting the illusion of movement in fundamental to almost all of her limited editions.
She wants you to think about what it means to be human, the challenges, the highs, the lows and where we all collectively gain our strength from.
The artist continues to hold sell out exhibitions and appearances throughout the UK and keeps her many followers up to date on Facebook
