Avalon – 120x71cm

Linda Dry-Parker
Australian Artist

Colour is fundamental to our world and is my inspiration. It is through colour, that I interpret how my chosen subject influences my creative process, and through colour, I am able to initiate my own responses.
My pictures whether in oil or watercolour, are born from close observation of life around me, and I translate these images into my own language.
I visualise my work in layers of colour, long before a form appears. By layering, scraping and working with wet paint, I build the image between the planes and the surface texture.
It’s the physicality which creates an ambiguous vision, that rests within the surface of the painting, yet also appears to float freely on the surface.
