About Lise Temple
My paintings explore the temporal experience of viewing place from changing viewpoints. In the process of art-making I move between realism and abstraction. The representational and the abstract inform one another, in both the true subject of the work is always colour, form and design. I have built up a body of work consisting of lyrical abstract landscapes and abstracted interiors which I have developed with a collage methodology.
The abstracted interiors are intended to represent the passage of time. The compositional elements of architecture and space are manipulated with the objective to intertwine the experience of past and present. The designs are constructed from collected impressions; looking out a window or across a table, walking out of a room, listening to the sounds and remembering a view. I attempt to evoke memories through referencing furnishings and decorative motifs.
In all of my work I intend to insinuate notions of form, space and time but also to leave room for the viewer to become involved in making their own interpretation of the subject.
