By day, Natasha Boast's artworks captivate through vibrant colour, sculptural texture, and striking realism. By night, they reveal an entirely different presence. Through the innovative use of photoluminescent materials, Natasha creates contemporary works that transform with changing light, uncovering hidden details and luminous layers as darkness falls. Inspired by Pop Art, consumer culture, fashion, movement, and the natural world, her work exists at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and eco-lighting, inviting viewers to see the familiar in surprising new ways.
Resin lies at the heart of Natasha's practice. Working with the material at different stages of curing, she sculpts, shapes, and layers each piece by hand, creating richly textured surfaces full of depth, dimension, and realism. Her body of work ranges from hyper-realistic doughnuts, cakes, sweets, and fashion-inspired forms to dynamic abstract compositions inspired by movement, energy, and exercise. Through these contrasting subjects, she explores the balance between indulgence and discipline, pleasure and wellbeing, celebrating the everyday experiences and choices that connect us all.
A defining feature of her work is the integration of photoluminescent technology. By harnessing light as both a medium and a subject, Natasha creates artworks that absorb natural or artificial light during the day and release a long-lasting luminescence after dark. As illumination changes, hidden details emerge and colours evolve, allowing each piece to take on a new character and creating an ever-changing connection between artwork, environment, and viewer.
Balancing technical precision with curiosity and experimentation, Natasha continues to push the boundaries of resin beyond its traditional applications. Through her innovative fusion of sculpture, resin, and sustainable light-responsive materials, she creates contemporary artworks that spark wonder, invite discovery, and bring a sense of joy long after the lights go out.
