"Heat"
24"x36" Oil on Canvas
This painting shows a pouring technique being sculpted into an atmospheric image, an image where you can feel the heat and the energy. The initial image I wanted to portray was the inside of a flower, the delicacy and the power. However, the final image conveys more, some people seeing a galaxy, lava or human body parts. Whatever it is people see, it is nature, the birth of something... What do you see?
About the Artist:
At age 16, Roberta was taught by artist Ian Murphy at her local high school in Standish, England. He helped her realize her interest in the simple pleasure of mixing and blending colors of paint. It was in Dundee, Scotland years later, while at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, that she embraced the idea of combining different views within one composition. She used the computer to aid her sketching process of layering photographs and sketches of views, people, objects, and places. By re-creating these layers, rhythms of color and light were formed across the canvas, enhanced by the texture of various applications of paint.
Today her paintings represent the emotions evoked by the objects within her compositions. These emotions stem from the power of light (and therefore dark) and its control over her views, both externally and internally, of the life around her and how all our eyes and minds make sense of an object through light and color.
