OPEN - BETTER Painting

A Melbourne artist that creates mixed media original artwork that open up for a look into different worlds. The use of recycled materials, paint, pencils, various textures and methods like de-construction of form, opens up for an abstract universe, that encourages the observer to go on a reflective journey in a visual, as well as in the spiritual. The pieces make up an interesting combination of inspiration from life [past & present], an interaction with the conscious, sub-conscious and the underlying elements of the spiritual beliefs. This manifests itself in the use of signs, symbols, patterns, found objects and images of his own photography from various places and surroundings. Colours and images that evoke memories, emotions also influence all the works and help with the communication between artwork and viewer. Making marks, using the images as forms and shapes, using text all add to the emotional experience.
