Bobbye Fermie, Midnight Boogie, 2023 (framed)
Watercolour and collage, 25 x 28cm
Amsterdam-born artist Bobbye Fermie is renowned for her dreamlike works on paper that explore introspective female figures inhabiting imaginary spaces. Inspired by memories and photographs, her work is characterised by a limited palette which creates impact and lends each image a graphic quality.
This framed, collage and watercolour piece by Bobbye is closely related to a pair of woodcuts from her ‘Tales from the Home’ series of limited edition prints. Inspired by a window that the artist saw in a Dutch painting, the work features an intricately collaged pitched roof which frames the artist’s couple who are absorbed in their late-night dance. The collaged tree, which we peer through in the foreground, gives the scene a voyeuristic quality. This unique work is framed in sapele wood behind anti-reflective, 70% UV resistant glass.
Bobbye studied in the Netherlands and Belgium before moving to London in 2014 to attend the Royal Drawing School. She has undertaken artistic residencies in the UK and Italy and her work has been featured in several publications. She has exhibited widely in the UK and her work is currently held at several collections, including the Morritz-Heyman Collection, The Royal Collection and Soho House. She lives and works in north London.
