A new wave of painters are creating emotional landscapes which blur the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. They recall the art world’s most celebrated colourists – from Matisse to Kandinsky, Howard Hodgkin to Frank Bowling. The results are sinuous and rhythmic, as with the compositions of 41-year-old São Paulo-based Marina Perez Simão (pictured), and energetic and encompassing, as in the work of 29-year-old Londoner Jadé Fadojutimi. While contrasting in style, these artists often use colour to capture memory and experience, or to explore emotions and mental states.
