ABI MOFFAT

Abi Moffat (b. 1992, Cardiff, UK) lives and works in Hastings. She holds a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from Leeds Arts University (2013) and a Master’s degree in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts (2018), where she was awarded the Sir Frank Bowling Scholarship. In 2016 and 2017, Abi completed two large-scale public commissions for Transport for London and Leeds City Council in collaboration with established design studios. Her work was featured in The Saatchi Gallery Magazine in 2018. Abi has exhibited widely across the UK and has sold her paintings internationally.

 

Specialising in abstract painting, her work is emotive and reactionary, driven by a love of exploring the material qualities of paint. Her practice delves into the impact of colour and the translation of natural light within a painted image. Through a spontaneous, process-led approach, she focuses on building rich layers of texture and depth on the surface. She applies, removes, and reapplies materials using a range of tools, brushes, and her own hands.

 

Abi incorporates collage into the surface to blend subtle moments of familiarity with abstraction. Her original paintings are available for sale, with the option for private commissions. With commissions Abi works closely with clients to create a desired aesthetic and colour palette for varied interiors.
