ART CANDY 2022
British contemporary artist Bettina Newbery’s ART CANDY series invites viewers into a vibrant, candy-coated realm where pure floral forms meet luscious, decadent colour. Building on the earlier BLOOMS theme, these 2022 paintings push abstraction further: resplendent arrangements burst with intensified hues, their shapes distilled yet sumptuous.
Each canvas is a visual feast, meticulously layered over months to achieve nuanced textures and chromatic depth. The result is a striking tapestry of pigment that evokes joy, wonder, and a renewed appreciation for nature’s beauty.
One highlight, BLOOM XXVIII – ROSE SUGAR, epitomises the collection: an intricately textured rose in luminous apricot-coral, its classic silhouette and verdant centre offering a subtle contrast that balances modesty with irresistible fascination. Refined yet playful, the ART CANDY works bring artistic brilliance and sweet exuberance to any space.
