Education
She received a master in printmaking at Chelsea School of Art, London in 1985 and earned a BA in fine art at Ravensbourne College of Art, London in 1984.
Technique
Fieroza Doorsen uses a wide range of materials: charcoal, ink, pastel, oil, acrylic, gouache, and collage, producing works on paper, oil on canvases, and wall-based sculptures.
Inspiration
Doorsen uses drawing as a way of investigating ideas and shapes. She plays with curves and lines, geometric mark-making, and organic forms, using both colour and monochrome. Her artistic approach has some reminiscence of Arte Povera, using materials such as tissue paper and wax.
Relevant Quotes
“Predominantly abstract, Doorsen’s images range from repeated patterns to brightly coloured organic forms. These works draw the viewer into a visual language that evokes the formal matrices of classical abstraction that accumulate in the vocabulary of a distinctive and individual language.” (curators for the Emergence exhibition, Paris, 2014)
