Paintings: Caroline Smith: Artist Statement |
|
Glimpses of light through trees or the movement of air or water are
visual treats that can be captured in the imagination and made into
expressive form.
Painting landscapes gives me the opportunity to bring together the
many sensations felt in a particular place.
The paintings produced in oils are made to show the directness of this
experience. The marks and build up of paint is left open to show the
process by which it was made.
I try to show the energy or atmosphere of the place by exaggerating
colour and light and applying paint with quick movements of the
brush.
I have a studio at the Phoenix Gallery in Brighton and regularly
exhibit paintings in the Brighton Festival and Lewes Artwave.
