Tulipmania 5 B/w
Oil on canvas available from www.angelastanbridge.co.uk artwork remains the copyright of the artist. reproduction in part or in whole is strictly prohibited. �angela stanbridge the 'dead tulip' series is based on the use of wilted or dead tulips as the subject matter which can be likened to the genre of the 'memento mori' artists of the 17th century who included some kind of symbol of mortality in each picture, i.e. a skull, or more subtly a flower losing its petals. the latin phrase translates as "remember you must die," the purpose being to remind people of the inevitability of death, and thereby their own mortality and the transience of life.

I have recently completed 3 years at The University of Northampton gaining a first class BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art Painting.
The process of transforming paint and other materials into images continues to compel and challenge me. Over the years, that process has led me from realistic drawing & painting to most recently through my degree course the pursuit of experimental abstract processes, eventually going back to realism. Painting fills me with a sense of well-being, and has proven to be a satisfying way for me to translate my visual ideas into a physical reality.
