Wilhelmina Barns-Graham

Wilhelmina Barns-Graham (1912 – 2004) was a British abstract artist associated with the St. Ives School. Her work explored the relationship between form, colour, and light, with a style that evolved from representational landscapes to Abstract Expressionism. Barns-Graham primarily worked with oil and acrylic paints, as well as drawing materials, using bold geometric shapes and vibrant hues. Her art was influenced by the natural world, particularly geological formations, and she sought to capture the energy and movement within these forms through abstract compositions.
