Antonia Hazlewood is a Brighton-based abstract impressionist whose work explores the space between painting and drawing. Her expressive, layered pieces challenge boundaries between the natural and the constructed, the living and the static, the tangible and the digital, the framed and the free — inviting viewers into a world where colour, line, and form pulse with life.

Hazlewood’s palette is scattered with immersive intensity — layers of bold pinks, forest-inspired greens, and glowing embers coalesce in a dynamic chromatic dialogue, as if each hue were an energetic organism weaving through the canvas. Her practice is guided by a fascination with transformation and time, shaped by the drifting logic of Deleuze and Guattari’s Rhizome, where everything connects in shifting webs, and the ancient Greek philosophy of Flux, where all things exist in a state of ceaseless becoming. Her works act as “beacons of possibility,” dissolving the lines between perception and emotion, offering a visual rhythm that echoes the unpredictable harmony of the natural world.

Recent highlights include exhibiting at Turner Contemporary, the acquisition of four works by The Artist Residence for their permanent collection, and commissions from Faithless and Pikes Hotel in Ibiza. In 2024, she participated in Brighton’s Open House Festival and exhibited in London in a show curated by renowned art critic and writer Anthony Fawcett. Following her 2023 graduation, she was nominated for the CVAN South East Platform Graduate Award and received the University for the Creative Arts Graduate Award, which culminated in a month-long residency and her debut solo show.

Whether through solo painting or collaborative workshops with local collectives, Hazlewood’s work invites connection — to nature, to community, and to the unseen energies that shape both.
