Michele Fletcher is a contemporary fine artist whose vibrant, gestural paintings explore the delicate and often tense relationship between the natural world and human intervention. Born in Canada and currently living and working in London, England, Fletcher has garnered international acclaim for her distinct approach to abstract landscape painting.
Fletcher’s practice is deeply rooted in the physical act of painting. Utilizing a dynamic, wet-on-wet (alla prima) technique, she layers oil on linen to create fluid, ribbon-like strokes that evoke the cyclical rhythms of nature. Her compositions—rich with deep, luminous pigments, twisting botanical forms, and unexpected shifts in light—hover seamlessly between representation and pure abstraction. Rather than painting literal landscapes, Fletcher captures the memory, atmosphere, and sensory experience of natural environments, drawing inspiration from gardens, hedgerows, and the changing seasons.
Her work has been widely exhibited at prestigious institutions and galleries worldwide, including solo and group presentations at the White Cube (Hong Kong), the Royal Academy of Arts (London), Ronchini Gallery, and the Whitechapel Gallery. Her paintings are included in major public and corporate collections, including the University of the Arts London and the Ernst & Young Collection.
