FELICITY MEACHEM
Felicity Meachem is a contemporary British artist. Shortly after completing her BA in Fine Art Painting at the University of Brighton in 2018, she has moved to pursue her practice, now based in Manchester. She has since been awarded Runner Up of the Graduate Art prize 2018 for her painting ‘I’m Alright, Hiding Tonight’ and has had selected work in the Manchester Open Exhibition 2020.
Burgeoning with an overload of pattern, Meachem’s work celebrates the use of the decorative within contemporary Fine Art Painting. While pattern can still signify twee, kitsch, and the feminine, she believes that with the right use of decoration in painting it can be evocative and empowering. Her paintings depict dreamscapes made of collaged Images. Figures are suspended in an indefinite psychedelic space, reminiscent of the BFG floating and tumbling about in his phiz-whizzing dream country.
