Abstract Paintings |
|
My abstract paintings deal with details associated with Abstract Expressionism; the gesture, stripes, drips and geometric structures are all motifs employed within a shifting field. Whilst appropriating, isolating and reconfiguring these individual languages, I endeavour to construct paintings that, although referencing abstract expressionism, nonetheless display a contemporary language. By directly referencing cogent feminine signifiers, by using such media as tights, synthetic hair, glitter and nail varnish, I hope to create paintings which reflect contemporary society’s feminine construct through the medium of abstract art.

Text based paintings
Text based paintings takes the form of white paintings, referencing the hotly debated subject ‘what is Art? Art (Yasmina Reza) an international play exploring just that subject has been played out in London and French theatres. I use slogans, which slowly reveal themselves to the viewer, pulling them into a forced dialogue. |
