Naomi Arbuthnot lives and works in Northern Ireland. She is a graduate of North West Regional College, Fine Art HND course, and the University of Ulster Belfast, where she obtained a degree in Fine Art Printmaking with an “Outstanding Student” award. Naomi exhibited as part of the 138th Annual Exhibition, and will be exhibiting again this year. Her work combines both traditional and modern printmaking disciplines, including silkscreen printing and hand-drawn illustration, resulting in a distinctive body of work that playfully experiments with colour.
The printmaker’s new project, Multichromatic Moments, is a series of limited-edition screen prints and open edition reproduction prints inspired by architecture, nature, and objects from local and foreign landscapes. The artworks from the series aim to capture moments recalled from places she has visited. Naomi gives the architecture she depicts a new lease of life with an expressive colour palette. The idea for the series was born during lockdown; Naomi was previously a keen traveller, always excited to go to new places and experience new cultures. Over lockdown, she had the opportunity to revisit sketchbooks full of ideas based on the places she had been, thus she developed and produced a new and exciting body of work.
Multichromatic Moments was initiated with the design of the Austins and Morning Coffee prints. Austins, which operated from a grand five storey Edwardian building, was a department store in the Diamond area of Derry in Northern Ireland. The store was established in 1830 and, until 2016, remained standing as the world’s oldest independent department store. Situated near where Naomi lives, the artist walked past it everyday while out for her daily exercise during lockdown. Both images were created by Naomi as she adjusted to the ‘new normal’ everyday routine.
