Unity Coombes, 'Summer Bowl and Nasturtiums’ 2024

UK based artist Unity Coombs  is inspired by a love of mid-century art and the play of representation of ceramics, textiles and other objects. After many years working in museums, arranging objects in amusing ways alongside joyful colours and patterns is a central theme in her practice. Coombs' paintings often recount temporary compositions of objects from memory and imagination and where possible, she likes to paint and draw objects from her own home like Staffordshire china or Japanese kimonos.
