Ivie Ives

Smiley Face likes crayons and pastels.
Smiley Face likes to play and have fun.
to draw in lively colors.
to make things bright.

Inspired by the luminous fields of chromatics, Ivie's bright-colored painting evokes a contrasting interplay of soft-edged lines and drifting color planes. Free-form shapes float amidst spiky, graffiti-like scribbles in layered hues, creating playful juxtapositions between crisp geometry and spontaneity.

The paintings often characterized by a fun and witty style, reminiscent of graffiti and croquis drawing created with oil stick and crayon.The vibrant composition frequently features joyful motifs like flowers, hearts, stars, and rainbows.Through this playful iconography and mark-making, each element becomes a visual sign and metamorphosed symbols about the aesthetics of everyday life.
