Hepzibah Swinford - Flower Power: 5 June – 5 July 2008 AT Charlotte street
‘A self-taught painter, Hepzibah Swinford was born in 1956 in London, where she still lives. She grew up - in London, St Ives, and a rural Scottish house with beautiful rose gardens - surrounded by Oriental art and by the paintings of her mother - the artist Dora Holzhandler. Primarily a flower painter, Hepzibah brings to the genre an enchanting intimacy and a rare decorative vibrancy culminating in intimations ofultimate serenity, in some ways reminiscent of the great creations of American folk art and the Douanier Rousseau too. Her own artistic voice - marked by a sparkling refinement and inspired by her love of patterns and motifs on antique and modern fabric and porcelain - and also by the colours and shades of sixties psychedelia - is intuitively sophisticated and daringly original.'
