Painting for Diana Copperwhite is a means of systematizing information, which she describes as "giving the unseen world visual form." Derived from her lifelong interest in chemistry and physics, she visualises the canvas as a kind of "notational system". Her distinctive, undulating, kinetic streaks of colour appear at once autonomous, like light through a prism, and diagrammatic, as if mapping and charting forces invisible to the naked eye.
Copperwhite first exhibited with Flowers Gallery in 2022, having been selected by Sean Scully for his curated show celebrating Irish and British talent Hidden UK, Hidden Ireland. She lives and works in Dublin.
