About the artist

Collection: Sophie Abbott

Sophie Abbott is a prolific Brighton-based artist known for abstract paintings inspired by the natural landscape. Rather than capturing specific views or locations, each ‘painted memory’ instead tells the story of a life spent in communion with nature. 

Via a joyous use of colour, energetic mark-making and her distinctive approach to texture and perspective, each of Abbott’s artworks immerses us in beauty, embodying how our senses are activated by the natural environment.

“My work always comes back to the things I’m most interested in - the sea, land and sky. I live by the sea. It’s a big part of my life, and a significant inspiration. These landscapes are the places I go on repeat to find peace, to reset, to have fun. They change minute-by-minute, in ways I’m lucky enough to witness, and that’s what I try to capture.”
