RECENT WORK

Mehri Foda’s recent works reveal an artist working with a rare and deeply instinctive confidence. Drawing inspiration from across Europe and the Middle East, her paintings absorb the atmosphere, architecture, colour and visual memory of these landscapes, transforming them into works that feel both intimate and timeless. Across still lifes, figurative scenes and architectural motifs, colour and shape are not merely compositional devices but the very language through which feeling, memory and rhythm are expressed. There is, of course, considerable technical accomplishment underpinning these paintings, years of observation, discipline and refinement, yet what distinguishes Mehri’s work is something far less teachable: an innate sensitivity to balance, tone and form. Her understanding of colour feels intuitive rather than calculated, guided as much by instinct as by intellect.
