Description
Naivist in style, this round acrylic monoprint is inspired by quiet evening strolls in the countryside. Mainly using blues and greens, with contrasting orange, the piece evokes the calm of late summer nights. Golden metallic paint in the background brings a little sparkle in places, adding an ethereal touch. The image is 8″ round and comes in 3 cm deep wooden shadowbox frame.
My work explores the connection between structure and spontaneity through the use colour and texture. I use geometric forms, organic shapes, and contrasting palettes to create abstractions that invite reflection. Circles, divisions, fragmented grids and lines recur in my work, suggestive of cycles, boundaries, transitions and moments of in time. My process is experimental, intuitive and responsive, drawing on a sensory experience that is frequently out of step with the world. Through layering, scraping, printing, and overpainting, I often allow traces of earlier missteps to remain visible, revealing a history embedded within each piece. The use of colour informs my work, with strong contrasting shades evoking energy and dissonance, and cooler tones reflecting calmness, balance and contemplation.
