  • Portland Gallery is delighted to announce our first solo exhibition of works by Emily Powell. The exhibition, entitled ‘Kaleidoscope of Hope’, explores all aspects of Powell’s recent artistic practice including large scale floral scenes, Scottish seascapes and intimate domestic spaces. All the paintings are united through Powell’s love of colour: “I use colour to process life. Colours are a great source of comfort to me and I want to reach out through my paintings to share that withy my audience.”
    Powell’s recent trip to Catterline earlier this year was prompted by her admiration of Joan Eardley and the desire to visit her studio there and immerse herself in the same surroundings. Like Eardley before her Powell found the combination of remote isolated cottages and wild changeable
    weather deeply inspiring:
    “My paintings of the Catterline sea and skies capture the raw emotion I felt when I was taking in the landscape... I’ve never seen a sky like the one above Catterline; it taught me more than I thought possible and made me realise that even if I painted it for a lifetime I would never manage to capture the full breadth and depth of its beauty... The cottages reminded me very much of tea pots with a feeling of deep calm; they were small and compact and had sheltered many from storms”

    Emily, I found you through Sandi Hester, and I am so glad I did! I LOVE your work - just bought a class today, loving it! I usually don’t get emotional about things, but your story really touched my heart - and so does the freedom in your art! I love all of the bright colors and expressiveness. My eyes love bright colors for sure. Thank you for sharing your love of painting and life! 🥰 Leslie

    This is incredibly inspiring. The last few weeks, since discovering your work, also has felt like the windows have flung open. My work has become freer than ever before, and more true to who I am and what I am feeling. What a beautiful short, l am so grateful to listen to your thoughts and to watch you work. Congratulations on your new collection.❤
