About
Hazel Cardew graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Gloucestershire in 2012 and has since participated in group shows in the UK and internationally. She was Artist in Residence at the Glynn Vivian Gallery Swansea in 2018 and had her first solo show last year with Elysium Gallery. This year she will be embarking on her first internationally residency with the support of Arts Council Wales.
Rooted in drawing and focused on mark-making and minimalist aesthetics, I seek to create harmony and balance in my compositions. My practise has become refined in appearance, but broader in its exploration. I often explore my practice within the transitions between 2D and other forms such as 3D, sound or movement. Drawing is intrinsic to the work in this way. Pattern, rhythm and a sense of 3D space can be found within my drawings and the potential for the work to construct, communicate and connect is currently driving my passion for exploration.
