Poppy Maby is a Bristol and Bath-based oil painter whose work fuses dreamlike and everyday worlds. Drawing from Surrealism, Pre-Raphaelite art, and Edward Hopper, she explores motifs of time, nature, and the uncanny in familiar spaces. Maby’s process starts with photography, seeking moments that combine strangeness and comfort. Her small, detailed canvases use high-contrast light, neon underpainting, and dramatic shadows to reveal beauty in the mundane. Though her scenes often lack human figures, they feel inhabited, inviting viewers to consider their own relationship to ordinary environments. Maby’s art invites reflection on reality and imagination.
