Daisy Fulton - BA (Hons) Fine Art
Daisy Fulton is a Manchester-based visual artist specialising in painting. She is nearing the end of her BA in Fine Art at Manchester School of Art, which has included a study abroad at the Willem de Kooning Academy in the Netherlands and a full-time placement at Waterside Arts in Sale. She has exhibited in many exhibitions, including Just Paint* at Bankley Gallery and Oh! To Be a Painter at Saan1. Daisy was recently awarded the Jackson’s Art Prize Student Award.
Daisy Fulton is interested in how paintings take shape. She is guided by intuitive responses gained through continuous material experimentation, engaging with the physicality of paint and the evolving process of making. Linked to personal memories and recollections, Fulton's work is suggestive of spaces, places and things, where a painterly tension between surface texture, shape, line, tone and motif renders the paintings undefinable yet strangely familiar. Thicker, denser inner sections or subjects’ contrast with smooth and calm areas across her compositional mappings and structures, generating a blend of unfolding moments, hinting at depth whilst always denying it.
