About The Artwork
This piece is an exceptionally expressionistic piece for me as an artist. Unusually for me, their is no hint here at aged surfaces, merely the joy of abstraction, paint application, an interplay of past and present, imagined and tangible. One can view the shadows, the depth, & questions what is going on 'in there'. There is something quite visceral about the piece, it asks more questions than gives us answers. I titled this piece 'Selva Oscura', after the 'dark wood' in Dantes Inferno, a piece tortured with emotion, darkness, fire & the colour red. Physically applying red paint in such a frenetic manner was quite appealing... This painting hangs directly onto a wall, needing only one hook/nail, no need for wires, or cords. It needs no frame.

"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.
