Helen Downie – Unskilled Worker

Favourite colour:

I can’t pick just one because they have their own magical way of behaving around each other and it’s too much fun! At the moment I really like what purple does when it’s hanging out with a turquoise or light lime green with a dark blue. Colours talk and dance with each other and some definitely aren’t friends and become dull when they sit together but a little touch of another colour can bring them together.

Artist

Working under the moniker of Unskilled Worker, the London-based, self-taught artist rose to prominence via her hugely successful Instagram account. Her evocative work draws the viewer into a highly atmospheric world of childlike innocence, suggestive of darker times.
