Arousal Painting

Alexis Mcfarland (LX) is an Australian-Filipino contemporary abstract artist based in Toronto, Canada. In her work she is inspired by human psychology and the conscious and unconscious combination of thoughts and emotions. This theme is heavily explored in her abstract expressionism work and portrait pieces she creates. Artist Statement: Delving into the human psyche and exploring an individuals experience both positive and negative, light and dark is what fascinates me. People are so different, yet so similar and I like to paint in an intuitive state from the direct experience of the people I meet, my life and the transference of the collective consciousness. Painting is a purging of emotion from what I have seen and learnt of others and the experience in my own life. Psychology and human behaviour are ever interesting and I will continue to go to the depths of human mind and soul.
