In her minimal still life paintings, artist Harriet Porter strips away distractions to focus on the glimmer of light as it falls on her subject and its surroundings.

Strong emphasis is given to the gradations of tone within a limited palette, allowing her to concentrate on the play of light and shadow; space and form, resulting in simple elegant compositions.

Inspired by artists such as Vilhelm Hammershoi and William Nicholson, she paints directly from life in her quiet Brixton studio. The peaceful solitude she finds there is somehow transferred directly onto the canvas.
