Artist Statement
- Linelle's Art
- These paintings on panel explore my relationship with nature’s colours, textures, and mysteries while searching for tranquility within an urban setting. Inspired by my biological studies, the work is informed by the unique structure of decaying plants, wasp’s nests, and found natural objects in various stages of decomposition. Thoughtful observation reveals an interconnectedness and shared essence of these natural objects. They are imbued with unusual beauty. Each mixed media painting is developed through multiple layers of applied pigments, followed by sanding, rubbing, scraping, and the addition of gestural marks. The process is resolved when there is a sense of harmony and balance in the work. The images that emerge are open to interpretation by the viewer.
