Ipswich-based artist Naomi Munuo revels in the big, the bold and the vibrant.Her distinctive artistic style evolved whilst studying for a degree in fashion at St Martin's College, London - loose illustration of the human figure combined with interests in both Cubism and Abstract Expressionism to create a scuptural, colour-rich collage effect.
In Munuo's vision, simplified forms of the female body and still life subjects such as busts, plants and flowers are set within a dynamic framework of angular line.
The resulting images are a series of highly arresting scenes which grip the viewer, pulling them into intense, surreal compositions of many textured layers.
The effect is heightened by the varied mark-making made possible through combining media such as thickly applied acrylic paint, oil pastel, wax resist, ink and paper strips. This texural richness is enhanced by the use of pattern blocks which further dramatise the sense of scale within her compositions.
