About The Artwork
'Flux' is an original oil painting created as part of my Interior Spaces: Liminal Places series, a series inspired by the writings of James Hollis; in his book "Mythologems: Incarnations Of The Invisible World", 'catabasis' refers to the downward metaphysical inner journey that precedes the journey out of the darkness, which is 'anabasis'. Flux is somewhere in between.... Particularly compelling are Hollis's concepts of journey and passage pertaining to all human existence, where a sense of physical isolation invites reflective observation of an interior world by isolating the moments and transformations therein. The goal is to render a nuanced collection of images, moments, sensations, which by their nature are elusive yet, deeply resonant or ‘felt’. I am profoundly moved by the ephemeral nature of light and the sustenance it provides in physical, psychic and symbolic terms, and visually, my work is very much about conveying this relationship. Technically, I am drawn to the challenge of conveying it, and conceptually, value when it emerges from the canvas itself. I paint in oils, using an ‘a la prima’ technique to create thin, quickly rendered translucent layers, which lend to my thematic concerns, and allow me to explore resonant evocations of light and shadow.

Canada
Canadian multi-disciplinary artist Marian Wihak was born and raised in the city of Regina, in the great plains of South Central Saskatchewan, and lives and works in Toronto, Ontario. Originally trained in theatre design, and with a long-standing career as a film production designer, Marian is also a visual artist with an MFA in Interdisciplinary Art, Media and Design from OCADU. For many years the focus of her visual art practice has been creating evocative, large-scale oil paintings that chart nocturnal lightscapes both rural and urban, inner psychological landscapes, and dynamic weather systems. In recent years she also builds on her familiarity with and understanding of spatial responsiveness and metaphoric narrative, integrating her design and visual art practices to develop new possibilities in immersive and experiential environments. This serves her overarching interest in the overlapping perceptive and phenomenological aspects of chaos, the sublime and duration. Marian has been the recipient of numerous nominations and awards for her theatre and film design work and as a visual artist has being supported by the Canada Council and the Ontario Arts Council. She was also a Finalist in the prestigious RBC Painting Competition (2001). Her work can has been exhibited across Canada and can be found in private and corporate collections in North America.
