Painting the Arctic with Emily Powell – Arktisk 2024
Between 20 November and 1 December, painter Emily Powell will open the doors to her studio in the heart of Dartmoor and invite visitors to immerse themselves in an uplifting new series of artworks inspired by her travels in the Norwegian Arctic.
Twenty artworks were created en plein air when Emily and her studio team undertook their Arctic painting expedition in March 2024. Emily has also created a second body of over 100 works fitted within a bespoke installation of canvases fitted to the structure of the barn’s walls. All of these works are available for sale. Entitled Arktisk (Norwegian for Arctic) this body of paintings is intended to deliver a glowing beacon of warmth to offset the chill of the darkest season and to flood the body and mind with colour and light. Through the panorama of panelled canvases, Emily will visually describe the protective and generous embrace she felt from the Arctic mountains.
On the inspiration she took from her Norwegian expedition, Emily comments:
The Norwegian Arctic had such a gentle feel. The people were so kind, warm and generous. Time slowed. The wooden houses were multi coloured, spotted all over the landscape. Most houses we went past had huge woven hearts on their doors and they were lit up so beautifully. It was such an inviting magical scene; an antidote for anyone who isn’t sure about the dark nights. The colours I’ve used to describe the cold terrain are all bright pastels with warmth as the main undertone, and not a grey in sight. I only packed a tiny tube of white paint, which made me use peaches and pinks and intense blues in its place. Luckily, I had yellow, and could make many tones of yellow for the houses and the light. I don’t usually use much blue as it feels cold and a bit painful, but the Arctic taught me how to use blue in a new way, putting neon yellow behind it to warm its tone.
Emily’s desire to create positive, colourful, and uplifting work comes from personal loss. She says:
I lost my dad when I was 7 in early October 1997, and all these years later, my body remembers the impact of that time and I find looking after myself through the autumn months is so important to my wellbeing to this day. One of the ways I nurture myself is colour. My mind links emotion and colour so strongly. Grey is sadness. Once grey arrives it's hard to see beyond it but with yellows, pinks, and turquoises I can keep it contained. In my practice I have discovered it’s not just me that connects so viscerally with colour. When they see my work, people often cry. Not sad tears, but the tears of a person who has been seen, heard, and held through my art.

You remind me of a female David Hockney, vibrating off of the canvas. Thank you.
I live in Italy, so I won't be able to make it, but these pieces are just so inspiring and exciting to look at. I feel inspired myself to pick up my paint brush. I feel inspired to observe nature, I feel inspired to use my emotions in a way that blesses people like you do. Sending my prayers and best wishes to you.

Thanks for sharing your journey. I love your work and inspiration. Sounds super to go with your sister. God be with you in this season . ❤

Cannot express how much I love this.
Beautiful! I love the confidence you have to make your art so courageously and stretch yourself through adventure. Thank you for sharing it with us and the beauty of the places you go to 🙏✨
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time here in UA-cam! I have been to Norway (South and central) in the summer and your video actually made me tear up because of the beauty that it captured. Now I really want to go back and see the North in winter. Thanks so much for this gem. It made my day.❤
amazing how you have captured the vast space and immense force of nature, joined in with a light and a joy that just bursts out from the paper! absolutely beautiful!!! love it!
Beautiful x Nell
Thanks for sharing, Emily. It was a lovely and real insight. I just heard you on radio 4 this morning. My son has been struggling a bit lately having seriously regretted not taking art as an option. However light at end of tunnel thanks to colleges that will take him on with a portfolio despite the lack of GCSE. I will share this with him.
