“A fascination with art pulls me to combine personal guilty pleasures of colour, texture & bold landscapes together with subtle comments on the contemporary everyday.
My current work is the product of an addiction to touch, exploring art through the use of mark making. Something that I feel comes from within has become nearly a compulsive ritual as I indulge in the intimacy of crafting the balance of both complex and modest compositions.
The foundation for my art is structured on the clash between traditional values of the past and the constantly changing question of who we are as a urban center. As an emerging artist I want create original ideas that have value for the audience adding a new voice to contemporary artwork in our province.”
The artwork will consist of a great range of media including painting, photography, mixed media, installation pieces and sculpture. The work asks the question “What is Newfoundland artwork in 2011?” and replies with a profound sense of pride not only for our heritage but also for our constantly evolving culture as a fluid urban centre.
There will also be jam jams provided as snacks, cmon who would miss out on jam jams, seriously.
Cheers. Allen.
