I invite you to have a look at my Energy Paintings which I have created using Oil Pastels on colored paper. Each one is an Abstract development representing a form of Energy or Movement; shimmering light from the sun, dancing, swimming, a heart beating with lights flashing, a conveyor belt moving along, atmospheric effects of clouds rolling and rivers meandering.
The use of “Line” is very important in the execution of my Energy Paintings. Each of us has our own “Scribble”. It is like a form of identification - a very personal way of making marks - a display of internal energy. I have used the action of scribbling to create texture and depth through the layering of colors. This invites visual exploration of the space and contemplation of the essence of the work. In this way, the viewer is brought into the “Action” and required to use his or her own imagination to achieve recognition and connection.
Everything is made of Energy - we are all Energy. It has been quite exciting to develop a visual interpretation of this vital force.
Below I have posted a photo of “Heartbeat”, a large Oil Pastel inspired by a walk through the electronics department of Sears one day. Rows upon rows of brand new television sets flickered and rolled, creating a pattern of light filled images. The display seemed to have a life of its own - a beating heart.
