Poco Rubato

Poco Rubato

Margaret Ashman’s figures are studies in movement, balance and gesture. Rather than functioning as portraits, they capture the body in motion, giving each work a strong sense of rhythm and physical presence.

The restrained palette allows the figures to sit easily within contemporary interiors, while the brushed gold aluminium adds warmth and a subtle luminosity that changes with the light.

Each work is striking on its own, but the series is especially powerful when shown as a pair or triptych. At the larger sizes, the figures become almost life-size, creating a dramatic sequence across a wall without overwhelming the surrounding space.

Limited edition fine art print on brushed gold aluminium, presented in a solid wood ArtBox frame, (4mm brown alder). Total edition: 50

Margaret Ashman
Margaret makes works based on her own photographs of dancers and from other sources. Lately she has made work from video footage. Recent work is strong with physicality and a visceral sense of movement. She continues to use a muted palette. Some works are deliberately low resolution, and a painterly style is achieved by blending several colours of ink on the etching plates when inking up. This style adds to the sense of movement and flow within each piece. An Oxford graduate with an MA in Physics from Somerville College, Ashman's practice is deeply rooted in the photographic image, often featuring studies of deaf individuals signing. Her series "A Time for Everything," created from photo shoots with Japanese choreographer Chisato Minamimura, exemplifies her ability to capture the intersection of dance and visual art. Her work has been showcased in numerous prestigious exhibitions, including the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the London Original Print Fair, and the Hepworth Wakefield Print Fair. Notable solo shows include "Breaking Bread" at the Swiss Church in London and "A Time to Measure" at Happenstance Gallery. Ashman's contributions to the field have been recognised with awards such as the Flourish Award and the Chaiya Art Awards.

Concerned about buying a piece you haven’t seen in the flesh? ▾

We don’t currently have a gallery space where you can view the work in person, though depending on where you’re based, a studio visit can sometimes be arranged. What we’ve found, overwhelmingly, over twenty-two years: when someone falls for a piece on screen, the real thing is more, not less. Colour, surface, scale, presence. It works that way around. It’s why, across two decades, our returns have been minuscule.

But rest assured: if it isn’t right when it arrives, it can be returned within fourteen days.
