MARY MABBUTT
SOLO EXHIBITION
4th to 28th April 2026
Mary’s paintings are inspired by colour, space and form in the everyday. This collection begins with the classic still life convention of flowers placed in a pot, painted directly from life. As the collection develops, we follow the artist’s focus as it moves outwards into the depth and detail of interior spaces, taking in views of her art studio and her work table with its array of painter’s tools, all bathed in the warm light of summer. Other works are drawn from Mary’s sewing room or kitchen, reflecting the domestic objects and spaces that are central to daily life.

Mary’s exploration of shape, composition and colour relationships is inspired by her interest in the paintings of Henri Matisse. European painters Henri Fantin-Latour and Giorgio Morandi are also influences, along with the velvet tones and flattened perspectives of ancient Italian frescoes. She studied Fine Art at Loughborough College of Art & Design and at the Royal Academy Schools in London. In 2002 she received the South West Arts Major Award and has received awards from the John Moores Painting Prize Liverpool, Walker Art Gallery, and the National Open Art Exhibition at Plymouth City Museum.
