Jury - 2023 CHESTER COUNTY STUDIO TOUR

Meet the artist Som Maitra, creator of “Give me red studio”.I'm a visual abstract/contemporary artist, illustrator based at Malvern.
My paintings explore the duality in which we exist - our inner lives and the ever changing world around us. My work is defined by bold brush, hand, fingers, anything with which marking is possible, pouring, scrapping, while the energy body is a fundamental inspiration. I make use of accidental moments in this process to explore ideas of control vs. chaos.
A lot of research goes in before I conceptualize the idea . I use design thinking and feeds from the art collectors & the art experts & audience .
