For the first time, Rachel Collier-Wilson and Safi Butler are combining their work in a joint exhibition. These two Norwich-based artists both work with bold and confident lines to create their pieces, resulting in a colourful and dynamic show. This exhibition showcases both drawings and prints, and includes life drawing, flora and fauna. Not to be missed – an exploration into the portfolios of two up-and-coming artists on the Norwich scene.
Rachel Collier-Wilson has been a practicing artist since gaining a BA Fine Art in 1990 from Central Saint Martins School of Art. Rachel creates an emotional response to her surroundings, particularly in nature, highlighting the richness of our natural environment and adding a suggestive narrative. Having always drawn, Rachel is an avid life drawer, sometimes brings in images of the female form into her work. Rachel also continues with her printmaking practice, exploring different ways to portray her sketchy line producing linocuts.
Safi Butler gained a BA (Hons) Fine Art in 2002 from the University of Lincolnshire & Humberside. She uses clean, simple lines to create bright and bold prints. Influenced by nature, much of Safi’s work includes animals, plants and wildlife. Having lived in Norfolk since 2009, Safi draws inspiration from the countryside and coastlines of the county as well as creatures closer to home.
