Bridget Davies: All dressed up - at Cecil Court Gallery

Exhibition E-Catalogue

Ink

I adore the ﬂow and freedom that comes from using water and ink; the chaos is for me the random element in life that represents unpredictability and the constant unfolding of the unexpected. There is a ﬁne line between constructive chaos and the frustration of losing control that means I can only plan my work to a certain extent; the conclusion, the ﬁnished piece of art, is something I arrive at rather than plan in detail.

All Dressed Up!

My main protagonists are usually female because I am a woman and there is an element of self-projection in all my work. I love being a woman, and often think about the whole experience of being a woman in the modern world. I also try to set a mood, using feelings from my experiences and encounters, to form the personalities of the women. I am inﬂuenced enormously by the elegant, beautiful, fashion drawings of the1940s and ’50s– I love the playful, ﬂirty and romantic storytelling in the work of illustrators René Gruau and Andre-Édouard Marty. The ladies in my paintings are elegant and conﬁdent, but are also playful and have a sense of mischief about themselves, and they always steal the show.
