4 Artworks – Kim Collins

ARTIST STATEMENT

My most recent series is of acrylic painted landscapes with a dramatic sky on canvas and recycled wood blocks. Inspired by personal travel photos, these saturated scenes were created as a visual escape, to provide solace during this unprecedented turbulent time. Multiple layers of various hues of colour create movement, richness and give dimension. The artwork evolves with the changing light throughout the day as areas of the canvas appear irregularly. For the viewer the artworks are dynamic and give the sense of a third dimension, an alternate reality, a portal of solace.
