| Synopsis : | Canadian born contemporary fine artist Lori-Ann Bellissimo’s paintings are the result of a method that pitches colour against depth. Her paintings take shape through a gradual process of using acrylic and mixed media trapped under individual layers of optically clear water-based resin; a final layer of resin seals the surface. This technique explores the paradox of spatial depth on a flat surface as the apparent shifting of colour and form within the painting gauges perspective. The internal logic of each piece is a buried concentration of the object as revealed through traces of under-painting. Each plane overlaps and interacts with the painting’s physical surface and the form it describes. Abstract elements of design float on the edge of representation but are transformed by a congruous perspective or colour scheme. Each series plays with formality and tonal relationships reflecting the fact that Bellissimo often works in series returning to the same subject but varying her approach each time. Her titles are distilled from personal experience. Lori-Ann Bellissimo has consistently exhibited her work in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. She is currently engaged in a 2-month residency program with TAKSU, where at the end of the 60 days, a beautiful vibrant body of works will be presented for KL’s eyes to feast for the first time. |
