Gemma Petrie uses water-based paint and drawing materials to create abstracted figurative and biomorphic paintings, incorporating symbols, motifs, colours, and patterns from everyday life, the landscape and moments from the past.
The artist aims to bring art closer to the viewer, making it more accessible. There are some tactile works that have interchangeable pieces which can be moved by the visitor and some interconnecting shapes that flow out of one painting and into another. Each piece is part of a whole, but also a complete work in itself. The flexibility of the work allows each person visiting the exhibition to take away a different narrative.
