Aisha Bridgman is best known for her abstract paintings of imagined places and landscapes.  Originally from Portsmouth, she now lives and works in Surrey, UK. 
​
In recent years, Aisha reignited her painting career and in 2023, she completed a year of mentoring from Turps Art School.  She was later selected by Tracey Emin to join TKE Studios as a professional studio member, but was unable to proceed.
​
Aisha will next be showing at the Mall Galleries in London, in November.  Her paintings have been selected for the ING Discerning Eye exhibition by writer, art critic and curator Paul Carey-Kent.
 
Recent exhibitions include Blue Shop Gallery in London, Studio Cennen in Wales, The Lido Stores in Margate and through Art & People at Hollywood Road Gallery in London, where her paintings sold out.  Aisha's paintings have been secured in numerous private collections within the UK, Europe, Asia and the US.

Artist Statement  

I make acrylic paintings, which oscillate between non-representational, imagined landscapes and figurative abstraction. Beginning with a coloured ground and contrasting lines of ink, imagery emerge, as emotional responses to personal experience, memory or place arise.  ​My current series of moon soaked paintings, lean toward nocturnal scenes, offering stillness, introspection and a deep emotive connection. ​Solitary figures are still or transparent, reflecting transience; the shifts experienced, when processing emotions on and off the canvas.  My intention is for the viewer to escape into and explore these otherworldly landscapes, with their linear structures and off-kilter habitats.​
