Daisy Fulton is a Manchester-based visual artist specialising in painting. A recent graduate of the Manchester School of Art with First Class Honours in Fine Art, Daisy's studies included a study abroad at the Willem de Kooning Academy in the Netherlands and a full-time placement at Waterside Arts in Sale. Her work has been exhibited at a range of galleries including Bankside Gallery, Bankley Gallery and Studios, and Saan1. Daisy is a Castlefield Gallery Associate and has recently been awarded the Jackson’s Art Prize Student Award and the Wallace Seymour Painting Prize.
Daisy Fulton is interested in how paintings take shape. She is guided by intuitive responses gained through continuous material experimentation, engaging with the physicality of paint and the evolving process of making. Linked to personal memories and recollections, Fulton’s work is suggestive of spaces, places and things, where a painterly tension between surface texture, shape, line, tone and motif renders the paintings undefinable yet strangely familiar. Thicker, denser inner sections or subjects contrast with smooth and calm areas across her compositional mappings and structures, generating a blend of unfolding moments, hinting at depth whilst always denying it.
