Medium: Alcohol ink on yupo paper mounted on cradled birch board
Fran Duncan is a UK-based abstract artist whose work is deeply rooted in the themes of transformation, resilience, and connection to nature. Working with alcohol inks, she embraces an intuitive and symbiotic process, allowing the fluid medium to guide her rather than imposing rigid control. This method reflects her own philosophy—learning to welcome the unknown, finding beauty in the unpredictable, and allowing life to unfold organically. Her work is a meditation on impermanence and renewal, mirroring the shifting landscapes of both the external world and the inner self.
Inspired by the transient beauty of the British coastline, Duncan captures the quiet drama of brooding storm clouds, crisp winter air, and ever-changing light. Her paintings evoke a sense of grounding, drawing on the earth’s quiet wisdom and the intrinsic link between humans and the natural world. Through her work, she offers a moment of stillness—an invitation to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
