Opaque Lilac Gardenscape Painting

As part of an ongoing journey I have analyzed a simple shape called the Parabola and coined my unique shape called the Organic Parabola. New creative possibilities for its use have been discovered. In the Organic Parabola paintings, the symmetrical movements of a parabola’s trajectory, oscillates between the rigid paths of its traditional forms and the dancing plasticity of the natural form. Presented as a series of arrangements the series of paintings deliberates the creative potential of the parabola’s shape. Using acrylic paint the transparency and translucency of colour and form are alternately layered, overlapped and blended to resemble the growth of a garden, metaphorising their shapes to floral arrangements. The parabolas fuse into a tapestry of abstract landscapes revealing inherent juxtapositions of form, where order and uniformity converge along with unpredictability and spontaneity.
