Traces And Transparencies

Salgsutstilling med Vanessa Elizabeth Holden

Painting is a way of being in the world and an experience of expressing that which words attempt to capture and which music moves and penetrates. These paintings are sensual and emotive movements which are both suggestive and open.
The inspiration for this series of paintings has formed its essence from the whispering sounds of the woods which have been my nearest neighbour, the traces and subtleties of falling clouds and winds moving over fields and lakes summoning traces to be expressed and the inner landscapes which music improvisation awakens..
These paintings have flowed and changed like a cloud as I have only decided to halt the flow and capture that fleeting moment which remains as a passionate response to the world in which we belong. - _{Vanessa Elizabeth Holden}
