Ioana Baltan
Dream - (semi-abstract, yellow airbrush paint, oil on canvas, Large Figure, Mode

2019

About the Item

Developed in London in 2019 and 2020, this project focuses on the idea of dreaming, and although the emerging compositions are closed and defined they are also very dynamic and vibrant. The images are made with a mixed technique of oil and acrylic paint on canvas, and the resulting aspect is established through powerful brush strokes and transparencies. These works are not limited by a fixed or particular chromatic range, the artist strives to explore new values and nuances. Ioana combines figurative painting with abstract elements to create characters that are presented sometimes in a very clear and detailed environment or totally abstract circumstances. These elements are used by the artist to illustrate how fragile the memory is during the dream state. Some of the secondary themes are psychological disorders, hallucination, insomnia, and lucid dreaming. Sports pitches, sunflowers, bathrooms, and doors are just some symbols taken from the artist's dreams while the characters present are either inspired by people the artist knows or strangers from day-to-day life.

  • Forces Of Nature - 21st Century, Contemporary, Figurative Painting, Oil, Acrylic
    By Scott Naismith
    Located in Barcelona, Catalonia
    "My recent work now becomes more involved with cloud cover and its effect on light and colour through both its translucent and opaque properties. Clouds are visible masses of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They have the ability to refract and reflect, creating an ever changing perception of light which inspires my use of colour. I am constantly referring to the paradox of a cloud’s perceived weight and its fragility and the relationship between the cool and warm colours created by it. I have become increasingly interested in catching the moment when heavy overcast clears to reveal clear blue sky, a cool colour that complements the warmth it brings. While the most obvious manifestation of light refraction at this time would occur in the form of a rainbow, I will be concerned with accentuating the infinite, more subtle effects. I find myself inspired increasingly by the works of Turner, who created ephemeral atmospheric effects using large washes of liquid paint. Other influences include Henry Matisse, Francis Cadell...
