Anne L. Fontaine
Inside/Outscapes
On show: March 14 to May 30
Artist Reception: Wednesday, March 20; 6pm-8pm
Art is my creative outlet, my chance to explore colors, shapes, and compositions that are purely aesthetic. In my day job as an architect, I have to consider gravity, and building codes, and keeping rain out; painting is an opportunity to have fun and express myself with no restrictions, no limitations.
This exhibit has been heavily influenced by my background as an architect. I've looked to blend my experience in drafting, perspective, and three-dimensional spaces with my love of bright colors, loose expression, and playfulness. I tend to start my acrylic paintings intuitively, throwing colors down with big energetic brush strokes. From there I find the composition, layering in blocks of color, and then overlay with linework. Some paintings come together quickly, and some take many layers to develop into a finished product. A painting isn't complete until I've fallen in love with it. I hope my paintings bring joy, hold lingering interest, and brighten up any space. |
