Zoe Ashbrook

Zoë Ashbrook is a multidisciplinary contemporary landscape artist living and working in Gloucestershire, UK. Zoë graduated with an MA in Fine Art (distinction) at the University of Gloucestershire in 2023. She is a director of Walking the Land, an artist collective linking landscape, community and art through projects, research, exhibitions, installations, writing and shared walks with artists, other professions and wider communities.

Zoë's practice is process led and anchored in experiences of landscape and observations of time, nature and memory. Mindful sketchbook mark making documents an immediacy of emotive and sensory responses experienced and recorded vignettes of interest captured on her mobile phone provide fragmented moments Zoë returns to later in the studio informing painting, sculpture, digital compositions and printmaking.

A visual language evolves through a process of repetition and layering, where addition and subtraction play an equally significant role in the evolution of the work. Zoë aspires to evoke within the viewer a reason to pause. Inviting us to spend time with the work, allowing a slow reveal and a quiet recognition of the expressions of time and memory embedded within the work, our everyday experiences and the external landscapes we pass through.
