Orlanda Broom’s paintings take two distinct forms; her lush, floral landscapes and her fluid abstract works. Connecting these two bodies of work is a strong sense of colour, references to organic forms and the exploration of painting mediums.
‘My landscapes represent re-imagined places which are abundant and wild, the immediate sense of joyousness is tempered by an uneasy sense of abandonment. I depict places that offer a timeless quality and a glimpse of paradise that is lost to us.
The abstract paintings are made in the spirit of abstract expressionism, working intuitively with resin and allowing the medium to dictate and form the composition.’
Orlanda Broom studied for an MA Fine Art in Barcelona through Winchester School of Art, 1997. She lived for a long period in Portugal and then London, her studio is now based in Hampshire. Orlanda Broom is self-represented and over the past decade has been invited to show her paintings with UK and international galleries.
Large-scale commissions have included the 4x4m piece for the lobby of the new Four Seasons Downtown New York and a large abstract for the Mandarin Oriental in London. Most recently she has worked with the charity Hospital Rooms, painting site-specific work at a mental health unit in Kent.
