The Spaces Between - Ryedale Folk Museum

Artist Francesca Simon works from a studio in the North Yorks Moors. The organic colours, lines and textures of the landscape around her have, paradoxically, led Francesca on a journey into geometric abstraction. The Spaces Between shows the series ‘Check Works’, which emerged from the confinement of Lockdown and daily walks near her studio. In these paintings the arrangement of right angled or half square triangles is disrupted by horizontal bars, resulting in playful, almost musical, compositions, in colours that suggest the particularity of the landscape in different lights and weather conditions.

Francesca Simon has a BA from the University of Cambridge and an MA in Fine Art Painting from Central Saint Martins. She has recently had paintings in the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy.
