ARTIST STATEMENT

At the core of Woodward’s practice lies an intuitive, yet deliberate process that treats painting as both a visual and visceral language. Her compositions—seemingly spontaneous yet rigorously constructed—juxtapose textures, ratios, and chromatic intensities, resulting in works that pulse with visual energy and emotional depth.

Through a personal visual idiom that embraces unpredictability and expressive freedom, she invites viewers to engage not only with the artwork, but with their own internal responses. Colour is the driving force in Chroma, acting as both subject and medium. Woodward’s layered, performative process transforms each canvas into a dynamic space of interaction—between pigment and gesture, artist and viewer.

By titling her works with numerical codes alone, she consciously removes linguistic framing, encouraging unmediated encounters with the work. This strategy highlights her belief in the power of abstraction to resonate beyond words and speak directly to the body and mind.

Chroma is not only a celebration of colour and form, but also of presence and process. Each painting becomes a living entity—an extension of the artist's relationship with the world and an invitation for viewers to reflect on their own embodied experiences.

  • Jessie Woodward is a Bristol-based artist known for her dynamic, vibrant compositions. With a joint honours’ degree in Fine Art and Art History, her background spans art education roles in galleries and charitable organisations across London.

    Over the past eight years, she has focused on her full-time practice, exhibiting widely throughout the UK and internationally. Her work is held in private and public collections around the world.
