I recently attended a course, called Abstract and Colour, at Edinburgh College of Art. These courses are always stimulating, challenging, frustrating and rewarding in equal measure but every piece of work is part of the learning process.
My abstracts usually have an underlying theme and feel of physical landscape but it's almost impossible to say what makes for a successful abstract painting. So much is down to individual perception.
This wee abstract, as yet untitled, is an example of the kind of work I am presently producing.
Is it an abstract or a landscape? Are they mutually exclusive? Does it matter in the slightest?
A fascinating and interesting insight into your paintings Jenny. I will follow with interest your exploration of the elusive abstract landscape on your blog.
ReplyDeletei find your work strangely emotive, it doesnt really cross my mind whether its abstract or landscape. but they do seem like landscapes that inhabit a space somewhere between the interior landscapes of the mind and exterior physical landscapes. whatever it is, very impressive!
