Hetty Douglas depicts the complexities of daily life based on observations of society and self. Behind the seemingly instinctive and accidental lines of her works are biographical traces that seek to discover the depths of her memories with gesture and imperfection.

Working predominately with the medium of painting, her art is coated by materials other than paint, including plaster and cement – drawing inspiration from urban degradation. These ideas culminate in layered canvases featuring raw, fortuitous and deliberate marks.

She relays buried feelings of confusion, hate, love and hope relating to pivotal moments in her life. Embedded within typographic suggestions, where she captures with just one word an atmosphere of hardship and melancholy, often through a delicately girlish, naïve and sexual twist.

Hetty Douglas’s work is a continuous exploration of herself, everything that she is, says, does, and lives, painted through empty planes full of emotions, with a penchant for suicide.
