Poppy Cyster

Poppy since an early age has always been drawn to experimenting with paint in all its forms. Her abstract work continues to encompass a wide variety of mediums.
Growing up in Fife, she originally studied art at St Leonards school in St Andrews, then going onto De Montfort where she obtained her fine art degree. From there her works were purchased by Leicester County Council for their artworks Collection, where she was awarded the Artworks Collection Prize in 2005.
The Scottish landscape and coastal scenes have always been a great source of inspiration, they continue to influence her work in terms of light, colour and form.
To a large extent she paints in an intuitive manner, this maintains a fresh and lively atmosphere within the canvas. Sections of the paintings are worked in a spontaneous way, yet each painting is approached with a certain structure, the work is then carried forward in an instinctive manner. Within the paintings, line, form, space and colour vie for attention. There are rhythms set up to direct the eye around the canvas, throughout the surface there are calm areas acting as resting points for the eye which allows the viewer focal points before the attention is directed elsewhere.
