Polly Dutton
About the artist
Abstract and abstract realism mixed media paintings inspired by landscape, seascapes and gardens.
Personal Statement
Polly Dutton’s abstract realism paintings blend tangible landscapes with abstract forms, creating a visual dialogue between reality and imagination. Inspired by nature, her en plein air sketches lay the groundwork for studio pieces that merge realism with abstract textures, emphasising the interplay between the seen and unseen.
Polly’s spontaneous creative process involves mixed media—oil, acrylics, inks, collage —building organic layers that add texture and depth. Her vibrant, nuanced palette evokes natural moods, balancing chaos with harmony to reflect nature’s dynamic order.
Each piece invites viewers into a personal, interpretive journey, fostering an immersive connection. Polly’s work, rooted in nature and enriched by abstract techniques, offers a contemplative space that celebrates the fusion of representation and abstraction.
