Sandra Goldie
Kill Your Darlings No.5 - contemporary, abstract, acrylic on canvas

2024

About the Item

This contemporary abstract painting was inspired by nature. This rich composition by Sandra Goldie, a Canadian artist is somewhat reminiscent of the expressive, fluid work by the French impressionist Monet. Shapes, hinting at the form of petals, leaves, vines and flowers in soft complimentary colours—turquoise, sienna, melon, yellow and black markings float in a sea of deep purple. Goldie begins each piece by creating a backdrop on the bare canvas with sienna or ‘terre verte’ (green earth) colours. Her paintings are lyrical, a result, she believes, of her early exposure to the freeform rhythm of jazz music. One of a series. “ Kill your Darlings”. It’s a phrase used by filmmakers and writers to describe the process of removing parts that don’t serve the story. I often have to take a breath and remove what I think is a beautiful passage to make the entire composition work. I can then rework the picture. Sometimes you have to be ruthless to make something beautiful.” Sandra Goldie Sandra Goldie pursued her dream of painting after a career as an interior designer by completing a BFA and graduating with distinction from Concordia University. While completing her degree, she opened a gallery for emerging artists in Montreal which she successfully grew for nearly a decade. During this time, the gallery participated in numerous art fairs, including Art Toronto. This second career as a gallerist followed her to the County and Oeno Gallery, where she continued to work with exceptional artists, both emerging and established. A decision to pursue a more personal career has put Goldie back in the studio. Her accumulated experiences from both the design world and the art world now influence her painting.

This is an original, hand-signed piece with a certificate of authenticity. A R T I S T S T A T E M E N T: In the tranquil solitude of my travels to Antigua, I embarked on a journey that was as much internal as it was external.

As I drifted through the clear waters, I encountered a cobalt fish...
