Vanessa Cuthbert RCA FRSA

Vanessa Cuthbert RCA FRSA – Contemporary Artist

I work across a range of media with a main focus on painting. I exhibit my work internationally, working with galleries and private collectors.

I obtained a Masters Degree at the Royal College of Art (RCA) in London, graduating with a Distinction and winning the Darwin Scholarship.

I achieved a First Class Honours Degree (BA HONS) at Liverpool School of Art.

I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA) in 2016. 

I am also a former Senior Lecturer at Manchester School of Art and Liverpool John Moores University

I work across a wide range of media including painting, printmaking, film, experimental animation, photography and sound. My painting practice is founded on an abstract language: one of colour, shape, texture, line, and tone. These elements are orchestrated into harmonious compositions, communicating on a non-objective level. Positive and negative space interweave as colours and textures are placed on top of each other, or adjacent, in a field of light and space. I exhibit internationally in galleries and film festivals. My film work has also been broadcast on BBC and Channel 4 TV.
