Marlene F Bauer: Artist’s Statement

These paintings were created in two studios: one in downtown Toronto and the other near the shores of Georgian Bay.

At Georgian Bay, I often paint under two large oak trees, to better feel the four elements, earth, air, fire, and water.

My paintings are an abstraction of accelerating masses of colour and texture. I’m inspired by the brilliant greens of early spring, the first burst of flowers, a campfire, and the midnight sky.

I magnify the unseen waves that stretch, squeeze or expand at the speed of light and capture them on raw canvas with the brightest acrylic pigments and the sublime force of the elements.

Brushes, pads, scrapers, jets of water… these are the tools I use to bring my visions to life.
