Corrine Smith
My subject matter is a combination of organic
and geometric form. The
blending of the two reveals ambiguous spatial relationships within a
composition. The
thoughts and decisions I am making are the pulling together of my
own artistic expressions. I
rely on my personal experiences of the world to create.
My largest source of applicable information is from the
preceding painting.
One of my considerations is to create a
powerful composition. I
am interested in the play between form and space, and I often
reverse the positive with the negative.
Rendering the dimension of organic and geometric form is the
underlying structure of my work.
Consistently dealing with this notion, my forms are stylized
and function as flat shapes instead of realistic representations.
The more familiar I become with these forms, the more
possibilities I discover. I am interested in the concept of
opposites.
The
use of opposites can create a dynamic quality revealing high
contrast and tension. I
am always striving for an aesthetic surprise.
My inner feelings are a key element of my color and medium
choice.
My work is growing in closer touch with my
being. The evolution of
my art is a slow, natural, additive process.
My art is a reflection of my life.
The attitudes, symbols and complexity of my life have become
visible in my art. I do
not perceive any of my work as an end in itself.
From each piece springs new ideas.
My goal, to date, is to keep an open mind, expand my
perception and continue to create.
