Dynamism, Hand-Finished

Brighton-based artist Antonia Hazlewood creates immersive abstract works that explore movement, consciousness and the hidden rhythms that shape both nature and human experience. In this latest piece, Hazlewood responds to the concept of the butterfly effect - the idea that the smallest initial action can unfold into vast, unpredictable consequences over time. Built through an intuitive process of layered mark making, the composition expands outward in waves of energy, texture and motion. What begins as a single gesture gradually develops into a dense and shifting vortex, echoing the patterns found throughout the natural world - from the unfurling growth of plants to fractals, currents and the invisible structures that govern space and time. The circular format plays an important symbolic role within the work, referencing the Tao, or “The Way” - an eastern philosophy centered around flow, impermanence and the ever-changing movement of the universe. Rather than controlling the outcome, Hazlewood allows the painting to evolve instinctively, responding to each layer as it emerges. The result is a piece that feels simultaneously meditative and explosive: a visualisation of energy gathering, dispersing and reforming in endless motion. Rich in atmosphere and movement, the work invites viewers into a contemplative space where chaos and harmony exist together, reflecting the fragile interconnectedness of both nature and human experience.
