Description
Orbital is an acrylic work on cradleboard which is a second interpretation on the theme from the Orbit painting on paper which is also part of this product set. Orbital arises from the playful interplay of dynamic competing shapes, forms and optical spatial and geometric patterns which are the result of aesthetic decision-making outcomes during the paintings construction. The completed painting gives the impression of a coherent structure which actually arises from options considered and taken in the construction in painted layers which are on top of a chaotic pencil drawing which existed as the starting point beneath the surface. The result has a pulsating resonance which has a hypnotic and meditative impact on the viewer and is a result of the conscious thought patterns of its artist creator.
Sue Nicholas –
Sue’s ‘Orbital’ painting is a very vivid polychromatic work on cradleboard exploring and developing her distinctive range of complex rhythmic nonfigurative patterns that are intuitively created by hand. The visual relationships are adjusted and built in layers of colour and can exist behind, beside or in front of each other, creating interactive episodes that are all in focus and encourage active viewing.
