Natasha Townsend - Chromatic Contructs
An Exploration of Shape, Colour and Composition
Exhibition Dates: September 29th - October 12th
Online Sales Launch: September 29th 7pm
In Chromatic Constructs: An Exploration of Shape, Colour, and Composition, Natasha explores the dynamic between geometric structure and vibrant hues. This series of six wood wall sculptures highlights her fascination with the interaction of colour and form. Each piece is meticulously crafted from wood—cut, milled, and painted by hand—to turn digital designs into physical art. The hands-on approach often yields unexpected outcomes, showcasing an organic evolution from her initial digital concepts. Natasha’s deep appreciation for colour theory and geometric design shines through in this collection, reflecting her ongoing dialogue between design, fine art, and craft. The exhibition underscores her skill for blending technical expertise with creative exploration, resulting in visually striking pieces that celebrate the elegance of geometric simplicity and chromatic contrast.
