Fipé Gouge-Merrall
Born in Sydney, Australia and currently living in Sweden, Gouge-Merrall is an artist with a focus on painting and drawing. She uses a variety of mixed materials, such as acrylics, charcoal, watercolours, oil pastels and coloured chalk on watercolour paper or canvas. By using a variety of mediums she communicates through line, colour, and texture fluid figurative shapes within abstract dreamlike landscapes.
Inspired by artists including Modigliani, Kandinsky and Giacometti, Gouge-Merrall has a particular interest in Egon Shiele’s style of nudes and their expressive detailed lines. She also cites Francis Bacon’s artworks and use of colour as an inspiration.
Amongst other influences, Gouge-Merrall includes past/present experiences of her life, music, books, other artists, travelling and colour.
She has exhibited internationally including the UK, Sweden, Australia and the Netherlands.
