In Transition

Abstract

Precarious circumstances within our environment galvanizes our feelings towards an uncertain and unknown future. In Transition is a series of work that responds to transitional urban landscapes that fluctuate between collapse and renewal. Through the exploration of oil paint medium, application and formal devices, each painting becomes a pursuit in reorganizing cluttered and unresolved urban scenes while maintaining ambiguous qualities relating to the initial source. Contradictions and opposition arise in reaction to conceptual strategies and undergoing processes, however, implement emotive responses to stimulate and challenge the viewer.
