Artwork mounted and framed by Iris Grace

Art made in Market Harborough, displayed online

Sometimes it can be difficult to imagine what a piece of artwork will look like once it’s mounted and framed up on the wall. Especially when looking at the images of the paintings online. Iris’s art is all painted at home in East Farndon close to Market Harborough but we display her work on her website & online shop.

This gives anyone from any location at any time the chance to view her collection. We do understand that it can be hard to work out if it would be best positioned above a mantlepiece or your office desk? Maybe in the kitchen or living room?

So Iris and I have created some mock-ups for you to see, examples of her work in interiors to get your mind’s eye in the groove so you can easily start to picture her framed pieces up in your own home.

Namazzi Blue

Namazzi Blue, 55cm x 75cm

With springs in her feet she jumps, bounces and leaps for joy as she watches the rain, rivers, streams and fountains, intrigued by their movement and ever changing nature. Impressions in her mind that later can be seen on paper. A tremendous amount of tools and brushes lie before her, a collection that has slowly built over the last year. Thoughtfully picking out a few, Iris experiments with rolling, stamping, smudging, dabbing and carefully sponging the paint creating a beautiful effect. I am reminded of a rippling stream, you can almost hear it.

‘Kumbengo’ 55cm x 75cm

Iris’s latest painting is on the table still drenched from the last layer of blue. Little pockets of orange appear as she dabs a sponge here and there, something takes her attention and she moves off into her play room, she hands me the remote control and wants me to replay a programme she has been watching. It’s called ‘Zingzillas’ and it features a man playing an African harp called the Kora. She finds the unusual sound of this instrument fascinating and watches the skillful musician play at ease with just his thumbs and index fingers plucking at the strings. Again and again she wants to see the clip of him playing, while darting back to the kitchen to check on her painting, adding splashes of white that seep into the thick watercolour paper. Later that day she seems more settled and starts to add some more detail to the painting, creating rhythmic patterns. Dancing as she paints, using her stamp in a beat to music only to be heard in her head but can now be seen on the paper. So after some thought I wanted to name this one ‘Kumbengo’ an African term meaning rhythm of the Kora.
