By avoiding conventional standardized shapes in my paintings/objects and along with the application of intense colour, I express the powerful and complex basic human emotions. These emotions, raw and pure as they are, become instigators and catalysts in our lives; expressing the purity of our souls.
Mark Rothko thought larger paintings restrict the artist in controlling their work. I, on the other hand feel the increase of scale aides my control and translates my intent most effectively. This large surface of either pure or intense colour provokes the viewer; immediately altering the initial experience with the work, therefore allowing an intimate interaction to potentially occur. The viewer essentially is encouraged to stop, think, and feel. This stimulating experience will thus allow exploration of emotions and inner soul; perhaps subconsciously and honestly.
Intense colour is thought to provoke frustration, anxiety and awe, but can simultaneously stimulate pleasure and satisfaction. The interaction and stimulation I wish to achieve is most conveyed in the three-dimensional paintings. A transformation from two-dimensions into a three-dimensional interactive work invites and lures the viewer into a private space. The sphere, which a viewer perceives with two-dimensional work, is expanded and disturbed. Without this flat surface the viewer interacts physically as well as mentally.
During the initial stages of creating these works, a significant discovery became evident in the correlation between colour and shape. The linkage of intrusive and extrusive shapes and their fusion with introverted and extroverted colour is relative to the experience of fear and despair, as well as hope and happiness. Contrasting colours and shape compliment one another, creating a powerful and emotive combination. This dynamic fusion enforces the engagement and heightens the complexity of emotional radiance from both form and colour with the viewer to reflect and evoke raw, pure, emotions within.
Through my abstract paintings or painting-installations, human emotions of melancholy, tragedy, elation, doom and awe are portrayed. And with contrasting colours and shape; a reflection of the complex nature of human emotions occurs with the viewer, birthing interaction on a more intimate level. The once separate, lifeless two-dimensional object is able to enter its own territory, connecting with the individual.
