Intimate Glimpses, Journey of Life

Intimate Glimpses, Journey of Life

Work exhibited in the Visual Arts Association Group Exhibition ‘Four Seasons’, held Cairns Regional Gallery, Qld.
The exhibition theme was inspired by the Vivaldi’s music ‘The Four Seasons’.

Mixed media – archival black ink, acrylic, collage – paper painted, mono & screen-printed, drawing, photo; screen-printed cotton fabric, carpet material; on canvas.

Background: I had been working individually on art compositions relative to my passion to interpret music, rhythm, movement and energy through the use of formal visual art elements ie. line, colour, tone, shape, texture and art media.

The interpretation of any music requires one’s senses to hear and feel, absorb sound and energies, to internalize and contemplate, as apposed to recording information seen/perceived through the eyes from the physical ‘outer’ world. One has to create and interpret a visionary abstract, from a pure transitional and spiritual sensual state, from one’s own internal environment, the knowledge, understanding and experience one brings to canvas for the moments of manifestation.

I jumped at the chance when this exhibition theme came up. Also I am much inspired by Kandinsky and his work, a long time favourite art philosopher and mentor.

    That is really sweet looking Kerryn I love your colors awesome work.

  • Kerryn Madsen... replied

    Thanks for visiting Craig. Listen to the wonderful range of violin music in Vivaldi’s four seasons and try following my mark-making at the same time. I listened for over three weeks to the music before the zen moment of the black ink markmaking, all done with one dagger liner brush only. Cheers.

    This is a fantastic painting Kerryn!
    It is so complex and yet it flows so well. It’s like a maze for my eye except I don’t want to find the way out.

  • Kerryn Madsen... replied

    Thanks Marilyn. Yes an intense and complex experience, like on the crest of a huge wave, after listening to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons music for weeks on end and responding with the accumulation of all my skills and energies at that point in time onto the flat canvas.
    Imagining now if I had had a 4 meter long canvas at the time!

    Hi Kerryn, do you sell your original artwork anywhere? Thanks Erin

  • Kerryn Madsen... replied

    Hi Erin – Thanks for your enquiry. Best check out info on my home website. For landline it is usually direct, via my shop and through the Kuranda Arts cooperative as I live in an isolated region far away from major city galleries.
    Cheers Kerryn.
