About The Artwork
Chess Moves is part of the Alice in Wonderland suite of paintings. The chess pieces in this work are bursting out of their confined space and can be seen as a projection of our too busy lives. This restriction on physical space and timing in Chess Moves can make us question how we manage our life- moves, and the resulting consequences can project an unsettling atmosphere for some. The too big for their space chess pieces appear to be all vying for the best position , but where is it? There is a central figure in the middle, painted pink and the only distinct colour in this work. If we look closer towards the middle, you can see a face which changes into the two heads of a Janus -like figure. The small white moon and dark church steeple casts its shadow across the right head, yet another play on time/timing. Chess Moves can be a psychologically unsettling work.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
