About The Artwork

This painting is one of my latest. There is a hidden depth in the piece: on the surface, the viewer dwells on that pale warm cream & rippling texture, but ones eye wanders into the depth at the bottom, what can one see? Graffiti? Rocks? Trees? A meandering road? Ambiguity hangs over the piece, the uncertainty of texture and layers. What am I looking at? The overall browns & cream tones makes the piece warm & seductive, deep & questioning, almost yearning for a forgotten landscape, with monumentality in its texture. It is a conversation starter. For me, surfaces with shifting colors and marks, random or intentional, carry a visual and poetic resonance within each of my paintings. This painting needs no frame, cords or wires. It is ready to hang on any wall. I would advise two strong wall hooks/nails & hang piece directly onto those. It needs no frame unless desired, the paint marks run right to the paintings crisp edge.

"What Sweeney has vividly evoked is its maker's desire to create a mark in public, to make something imperfect and thus unique. In this and many of these works, Sweeney's aesthetic is a raw one of the scrap yard, and at moments - the gutter" Jean Tormey, Curator, Tate Modern, London. Tracy Sweeney is an artist from Ireland. Her dynamic paintings have won major awards including the prestigious Pollock Krasner Award in New York. Sweeney's numerous international exhibitions have been met with much acclaim, particularly her exhibition "Station/Wall" in Grafiska Sallskapet Galleri, Stockholm; her work in the Paris Biennale 109 and a major group exhibition; "˜Grafiktriennalen', opened by King Carl Gustaf of Sweden in Stockholm, Sweden. Tracy Sweeney's paintings are held in major collections, galleries & museums throughout Ireland, Europe & the US. She is represented by Grafiska Sallskapet, & Galleri Ingela S, Stockholm, Sweden.
