Amy is on board with P&O

AMY ALBRIGHT, a University College Falmouth graduate, has been commissioned to produce four large paintings for P&O cruises' latest ship, Britannia.

The striking semi-abstract oil paintings will be positioned in a public area of the ship for all to see. Britannia will boast Britain's largest floating art collection, containing more than 8,000 artworks, when it launches in March next year.

P&O's art consultant Tom Tempest-Radford said: "Most of the artworks are abstract, based on the sea and music and the whole thing together is a symphony."

Amy has exhibited nationally since winning the Midas Award in 2008 and is achieving great success, with other collectors including Tresco Estate, Isles of Scilly. In 2013 she was made a member of the NSA (Newlyn Society of Artists) and has previously been selected as Artist in residence at Tresco Gallery and Beaford Academy. Amy has lived in Cornwall most of her life, growing up in Lostwithiel. She is now based at Krowji Studios, Redruth and is working towards a major solo exhibition at Artwave West gallery in Dorset next year.

When describing her work Amy said: "I paint using an intuitive, organic technique; building up the surface with numerous layers of paint. With an unsettled sense of scale I aim to capture the magical, elusive dancing light found in our oceans shallows and depths."

Reviews

"I've quite fallen in love with your evocative, sensual paintings. It's extraordinary that even as an internet thumbnail sized image the work vapourously conveys a much much larger Celtic grandeur. It's all very mythical. I'd love to be able to use some of your work in upcoming projects for clients. In fact it's very much worth seeing your work now since it has the sort of presence one really needs to build an interior scheme around. "

Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, TV presenter & Interior designer.

Amy Albrights paintings seem to already have their own language, with unusual movement, a drifting, and depth with the works which is compelling. There is a sense of real exploration of space, which she has made her own, a place where through veils of paint we are allowed a glimpse into a shimmering world.

Testimonials:

'I absolutely love my painting. There is so much depth and vibrancy of colour in the piece that it stands out as the centrepiece of my room, and really adds brightness and character to it. There are so many layers and hidden details that I keep discovering and it completely fits the space it was made for.' Rupert, Commercial Director, London. Re. Commissioned painting.

'Just a quick note to thank you so much for our painting, hung proudly on our kitchen wall yesterday and every time we walk past it seems we visually unpeel another layer of work, it really gets better each time we look.
Thank you so much'
Martin & Nikki.

'We're both delighted with our painting Tidal Shifts and enjoying it very much. The photos
didn't really do it justice as it's much better in real life.'
