Collaborative venture

Maria Kuipers from Brighton collaborating with abstract artist John Jennings from London.

As a formalist painter I've been exhibiting my work for over 20 years after graduating with Fine Art 1:1. I often combine painting, stitch and collage including recycled elements and found objects.

This year 2021 I aim to enhance my portfolio with a new body of dynamic work with fresh inspirations and approaches.  I will be scoping and developing a body of work for a new collaborative collection entitled 'Rebirth' with my colleague artist from London.

We will be sharing our practice by working in each others studios in Brighton and London to absorb different skills, inspirations and methodologies. We will be also confronting creative challenges that are completely new to both of us as we will be experimenting with different ideas so that we can share our work in a collaborative exhibition space in an Open House as part of the Brighton Festival Trail, in May 2022.
