Waterstone Gallery's April show, Blame it on the Moon : Abstract Nocturnes, celebrates mixed media paintings by Ruth Armitage. Inspired by the cyclical rhythm of the moon, Armitage's bold colors and gestural brushwork convey the fluidity of emotion and movement inherent in the dark hours of the night. In her new work, Armitage delves into the enigmatic interplay between darkness and light, and explores moments of both struggle and serenity. Each piece, titled from personal experiences and cultural influences, reflects the artist's journey of self-discovery and reflection. Armitage's abstract compositions serve as visual symbols of an emotional landscape and invite viewers to contemplate the unseen forces that shape our innermost thoughts.
