Colleen Flynn-Lawson
Lovespun
April 22 – May 22, 2010

Colleen’s paintings are meditations on the beauty and cyclical nature of existence. Her work at once represents birth, life, decay, and death, before being ushered back onto the path of rebirth. Colleen is most interested in allowing a shifting universe to reveal itself: the moments in which microscopic and infinite forms are actively engaged in the process of transformation. Colleen’s panel paintings involve multiple layers of paint and acrylic media. Her surfaces are scraped, molded, and formed to both obscure and reveal what lies beneath.

As each piece unfolds, Colleen relinquishes control as she allows the spontaneous alchemy between her media… how water will disperse the pigment, guiding and shaping it before settling into its ultimate shape and placement on the panel. Once it dries, the process is complete; the life that once inhabited its movement ceases, leaving its indelible mark on the surface.The individual moments of her paintings come and go during the process, leaving evidence of their transmutation and path. We witness the graceful delicacy of the colors and shapes that are formed, their blending and blurring, overlapping and commingling.

Colleen is based in Los Angeles, California and has been exhibiting in California, Canada, and the East Coast.
