About the Item

EMILY VAN HORN My soul purpose is as a catalyst for transformation. As a visual starting point I draw inspiration from urban surroundings, the crumbling splendor of a half torn down apartment in Barcelona, painted over graffiti on concrete walls under LA freeways, an engaging soundtrack or an intention setting meditation can all become resources. Gesture, line, shape, collage, and a variety of palettes, bring life to canvas, panel, or paper. With support of the grid for structure, intuitive marks begin the dialogue. A hierarchy emerges and decisions are made regarding what it essential and what must be let go. Layering and removing paint, adding and covering line, the conversation continues until a particular frequency resonates and there is a sense of balance and connection. The act of painting has been about letting go and surrendering to what wants to come through. For the viewer the work holds potential for trasnsformational impact, allowing for subtle or dramatic internal resulting in a vibrational shift, raising frequency, for those who resonate with it.
