Victoria Young

Victoria Young has been working as an artist since 1990 specialising in conceptual art using silkscreen painting and a unique layering technique for this process. She is also experienced in conventional and graphic photography.

Having gained a BA (hons) from the University of Hertfordshire, Victoria now works independently in her own studio. As well having a solid base of private and corporate buyers her work has a bias towards the community as her work often has a social and local connection.

Her art focuses on architecture and landscape. The concept in Victoria's work involves the placing of imagery into an imaginary composition, overlaying several times in order to achieve extraordinary depth and colour. The paint is applied in thin layers and the resultant transparency allows the viewer to see each layer. Her main interest is in abstracting from the landscape with a view to reinterpreting by the layering of images.

Recent works have included a number of historical and contemporary buildings in major towns and cities. The work is unique in its construction and technique resulting in pieces that generate interest and fascination as viewers are able to relate to their own surroundings.

Balancing her time between producing art and developing her theoretical knowledge, Victoria also teaches at higher level.
