Jenny Chisholm

The face in the street reminds me of our connections with humanity, inspiring me to push the bounderies of portraiture with the aid of painterly contrasts. My compositions evolve through a personal quest to discover and understand colour. Striving to celebrate and flaunt the possibilities of paint, being the entity that engulfs the subject allowing for a free-flow of ideas to transpire uninhibited. Greatly influenced by Frank Auerbauch I rework my subject to gain a better possibility of producing the spontaneous mark.
