Lost City Blues 01 - Large contemporary abstract expressionist painting in blue

About the Item

Large abstract expressionist painting. The palette of blue colour tones with a light textured surface and black ink line work. Contemporary art directly from the artist's studio. This painting is stretched, signed on the back of the canvas and unframed. Framing options are available, please get in touch. The artwork is part of the Interior Of The Mind series by Anna Sudbina which explores the relationship between space, time and memory and is aimed at portraying the experience of forgetting. All works in the series start as figurative paintings of interiors or exterior spaces. Then layer by layer, like time chipping away at the memories, the details start disappearing. There is an architectural structure - a base of geometric shapes, right angles and perspective on top of which lies a different realm of the subconscious. The still life in the paintings is distorted, broken into pieces and then put back together again with a network of lines that obscure and bend perspective to unveil what's left once we forget. The paintings leave space for the viewer's imagination to join the dots evoking hazy recollections of past memories, of places left behind, visited once and forgotten, blurring the line between familiar and the unknown. Anna Sudbina is a contemporary painter, whose work combines elements of the process led abstract and figurative art. She lives in London. Sudbina embarks on her artistic practice with three main stages in mind, for the first layer she considers a traditional figurative representation of reality, to set the colour scheme and composition, providing a context which she refers to as the Ego. Occasionally she begins with pure abstraction starting from the gestural base, allowing the canvas to guide her into discovering the composition. The second layer is Sudbina’s Id, an intuitive state of concentration in which her raw, gestural mark-making is dictated by her subconscious. The third stage, the SuperEgo, is about finding compositional balance through non-action and negative action, standing back to analyse and then jumping forward to undo, scrape or cover up parts of the painting. In essence, Sudbina’s point of departure is a debate between choice and chance. Her hands choose to control her chosen mediums, acrylic and ink using small found objects, a process which is juxtaposed by the chance involved in gestural mark-making, such as the independent behaviour of materials, a splash of ink or the unpredictability of mixing colour. In building a composition, Sudbina finds herself in a meditative state, guided by her subconscious thoughts, memories and experiences, each painting becoming its own spiritual journey. For several years, Sudbina has worked closely with the world’s leading Architects and Interior Designers. These working environments and experiences greatly informed her outlook, instilling an inclination toward all things high-quality and artisan aesthetic, a familiarity which is visible in her use of colour, texture and compositions, particularly in her Interior of the Mind series.
