Phoebe Unwin Untitled Year 2024 Medium Metallic oil pastels, watercolour marker, and high pigment/ lightfast art marker on paper Dimensions 28 x 21 cm About the work Like many people, felt-tip pen would have been my introduction to drawing in vivid colour – to me it still feels a seductively intimate and bold medium. This piece began as an observation of a domestic space but soon became about the rhythm and punctuation of the drawing itself: dotted blues, curling turquoise and darting lines. Date and country of birth 1979, GB Career Highlights Phoebe Unwin (b.1979) is a painter based in London.
