Bringing the Outside In by Celia Pickering

A large-scale painting by Celia Pickering titled Bring the outside in, 2025. Executed in emulsion on rag cotton sheets, the composition is dominated by deep greens, ochres, and citrus tones. Botanical forms and circular motifs interplay across the surface, evoking the lushness of garden foliage filtered through abstract geometry. This piece exemplifies Pickering’s distinctive approach to colour and layered mark-making, and is part of her celebrated exploration of organic rhythm and structure.
