Vibrant and joyous works by Rebecca Wilson. Now installed and available to view in the gallery for the month of August. Series of acrylic and enamel on board 60 x 60 cm DM / email the gallery with inquiries [email protected] 'The physical act of painting this series has involved playing with layers of colour and shapes which create the illusion of mass moving within the square in all directions, creating relationships and tensions. The joy and beauty of colour and mark making eagerly infused in the works is a political comment, seeking to evoke a positive reaction in the viewer and remove us momentarily from the negativity bombarding our everyday lives while pondering philosophical questions about existing in this world. Surfaces are broken with line and brushwork while circular or oblong motifs emerge. These motifs might represent at the same time cellular existence, organic forms found in natural landscapes including the sky, or perhaps some illusive spiritual cosmos, all of which are interconnected. Conversations spark within the paintings and between them. There is an attempt to achieve simultaneous stillness and movement in this dialogue as questions and contemplations are posed but not always answered. Resolutions are dictated by the paint and the image itself when there is nothing left to be said. The words that are inspired in response to these works echo the contemplations of existence and the contradictions of life also found in the paintings.'
