Description
Over 150 paintings, drawings and studies by the London-based Russian artist Natalia Avdeeva ROI known for her powerful British landscapes, seascapes and London cityscapes.
Natalia Avdeeva is a Russian artist who for the past ten years has spent most of her time outdoors in London - painting and drawing its landscapes and life. Her latest series '100 drawings in 100 days' has attracted huge following on Instagram. When Avdeeva is not in the capital, she is on expeditions to remote places in Britain - such as The Scilly Isles and the West Country - to paint its coastlines and countryside. "Working 'en plein air' forces me outside to experience nature and landscape at first-hand." She explains as she describes the trips - carrying heavy equipment, hiking solo and struggling to capture fast moving tides and scenes. "I am challenged by the weather, passers-by, the changing lights and temperatures. Yet I find it immensely rewarding".
Natalia Avdeeva was born and grew up in the Altai region of Siberia where she attended Barnaul art school at a young age. With its hot summers and sub-zero winters, she is no stranger to extremes of climate. Yet ever since she arrived in London in 2006 to finish her studies at Heatherley College of Fine Art, she has been fascinated with the British landscape: "I love the constantly changing hues and dramatic skies in the UK, the tremendous variety of scenery, for example its low tides where natural treasures are revealed and then swept away at the blink of an eye." She says.
