“Painting as poetry makes sense to me, especially with concern to translation and interpretation, words painting pictures and pictures inspiring words. I like to think of the possibilities present in gesture and suggestion, to think of light as something so bright that it might be audible.

When I paint, my mind is in constant flux for how a painting can be made, constructed, pieced together, and subsequently read and understood. I want to make spacious, minimal, balanced paintings, I want to make awkward, messy, chockablock paintings. I’d like to make both kinds of painting at the same time, and then there’s the risk, every time, of making a bad painting.  The good paintings are so often accidental, ignorantly brave and beautifully reckless.”

Abi Box is a British artist based between London and Bermuda. Graduating with a fine art degree from Camberwell School of Art in London, her work focuses on gesture and mark making. Box’s work is held in both a number of private and public collections including the UAL Alumni Collection and Simmons Contemporary.

She has had several artist residencies in Switzerland, Wales and Peru, and recent exhibitions include; Illusion and Abstraction: Capturing the Landscape at Bermuda National Gallery curated by Mitchell Klink; Paper Cuts curated by Kristian Day, Saatchi Gallery, London; The Smaller The Larger curated by Kate Hiley, Sobering Galerie, Paris; as well as having work selected for ASC 40° Celsius and the Bermuda Biennial.

Creative cultures are linked to high performance workplaces

A creative culture is one of the most desirable assets for any organisation.

And in these unprecedented times, a creative culture is more necessary than ever.

But in the wake of a global pandemic, exactly how can a creative culture be developed?

How can the side effects of significant workplace changes be overcome? And what benefits can a creative culture bring?

We answer all these questions and more in our white paper The Role of Art Programmes in Developing a Creative Culture for the Workplace.

After explaining why a creative culture in a post-pandemic world is so important, we draw on extensive academic and industry research to illustrate the benefits of a creative workplace culture, and introduce our new Cultivate™ art programme. Inspired by the needs of post-pandemic organisations.
