Serotonin Painting

www.ameliawhite.net info@ameliawhite.net Amelia Alcock-White is a contemporary Canadian painter who lives and works in Vancouver, BC. Her work addresses the on-going debate surrounding the use of our coastal waterways. It explores how a single event can manifest multiple futures, some potentially destructive. What is beautiful and what is economically expedient are often two divergent paths. By highlighting the reflections on a body of water she attempt to contrast nature versus nature repurposed by humans and the far-reaching and often permanently damaging repercussions that can occur. The irregular ellipses of flattened colour, abstract patterns and highlighted surface reflections try to evoke a reverence for the mystery and importance of water, our natural world, its fragility and precariousness.
