recent cloudscapes embodying jazz standards

by Linda Ganus Albulescu

ARTIST STATEMENT:

Recently, I’ve become immersed in painting land-, sea- and skyscapes, exploring the ways in which they can both stand in for/hold space for the human body, for our exteriors and interiors. I feel a great emotional resonance and concordance with music while painting these spaces; trying to capture the temporal instabilities of visual and harmonic shifts. Based on both observations and imagination, the gestural marks and manipulated color notes of the works can act synesthetically to express the ways in which we experience the world around us, and as chromatic keys to unlock our memories and stimulate our emotions.

My work owes a debt to many past and present masters of representational art, although it is the result of a search for a modern and personal response to those masters and their traditions. The imagery in my work is usually recognizable and taken from everyday life and observation; at the same time, it is often framed in unexpected ways.
