Fire on the Lifeboat takes a look at the visual art of Annika Garratt.
Bournemouth-based artist Annika Garratt offers a feast for the eyes on her online portfolio through a variety of means and modes. Oils on canvas is where her work achieves most resonance and whether it is her portrayals of new blossom over swept seas, reclining goddesses, or forests of deciduous Klimts that her hand decides upon, Garratt balances finesse with hue, and subtlety with surety.
Equally happy to accede to the drama of pencil or daguerreotype stylings of acrylic on board, Garratt appears happiest when experimenting with both form and execution. Check out her site for delicate flower murals, paper-mache paintings and cut-and-paste photo/drawing splicing and examine the scope of the work for yourself.
