Caroline Christie works in a bold and uninhibited fashion. Her technique
explores process combined with considered line and markings with
paint on canvas. The artist’s technique appears loose and free;
comprising of multiple layering of pigments, paints and stains.
Utilizing mixed media and the varying reactions these substances
have on each other, the artist parodies the spontaneous complexities
of Life.
The organic nature of circles and their distinct presence around
us leads the audience to inquire what this timeless symbol means
in the context of these painterly compositions. To the artist the
circle represents the Individual or aspects thereof - whole and/or
fragmented forms on and within the canvas. Exploring the self in
relation to the matrix in which we exist. The response these varying
moments have on the viewer is provocative and subjective.
The
expressionistic nature of the work is subjective however what the
artist is exploring is to what extent her experiences are common.
Because the environments and circles are delivered as an abstract
expression of emotional experiences the viewer is invited to transpose
their life’s experiences on to the work. These abstractions become
a vehicle to a visual landscape of awareness the viewer may penetrate
and access.
