Natasha Barnes (b. 1969)
Marsh
Large original abstract expressionist painting

Marsh locates Natasha Barnes' abstract expressionist practice in the specific landscape of the wetland — that most liminal of environments, where land becomes water and water becomes land, where the boundary between elements is perpetually negotiated. Barnes brings to this subject the same instinctive, physically committed approach that characterises all her large-scale work: paint applied from memory and feeling rather than observation, the composition evolving organically from the initial marks.

The palette moves through the greens, greys, and earthy browns of the marsh landscape, the thick impasto creating a surface that evokes the texture of reed beds and the reflective quality of shallow water. For collectors in Berkshire, Surrey, and London who respond to the British landscape tradition, Marsh offers a genuinely original perspective — the familiar terrain seen through the eyes of an artist whose relationship with landscape was formed in the very different terrain of South Africa.

Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot. Private viewings by appointment.
