Tempest

Tempest is a new exhibition of paintings by Wiltshire artist Jennie Slater. Known for her dynamic depictions of wild seascapes, Slater builds layers of rich texture and movement to capture the untamed spirit of the sea. This exhibition promises an immersive encounter with its raw power and shifting moods.

MADE is delighted to present the work of Jennie Slater who joined the MADE Collective in September 2025.

Jennie Slater is a seascape painter inspired by memories of time spent by the sea. Working directly in the landscape, she takes photographs, paints, and draws outdoors, drawing on personal experience and close observation. Her work seeks to capture the emotional resonance of coastal places—the movement, power, and unpredictability of the ocean.

Inspired particularly by rough seas and wild weather, Slater explores the ever-changing moods of the sea, from turbulent waters to rolling surf. Rather than focusing on literal representation, she aims to convey a visceral sense of being there: the sound of crashing waves, the pull of the tide, and the shifting atmosphere. Through expressive paint and mark-making, Jennie evokes the physical presence of the sea, inviting viewers to reconnect with their own memories and experiences of the coast.
