DESCRIPTION:
|
"Painting is a physical thinking process to continue an interior dialogue,” Amy Sillman states, “a way to engage in a kind of internal discourse, or sublanguage-mumbling…” Sillman’s canvases offer glimpses into a subliminal world. Strangely intimate, her abstractions capture the free-flow of half-formulated ideas, resounding with a distant familiarity. In Cliff 1, Sillman creates an effervescent landscape, her paint techniques mirror the convergence of unconscious thought: rock rendered with the chalky texture of rubbings, sunset as violent deep orange slashes, birds and flowers with cartoon folly. Sillman paints with an almost child-like sense of innocence, unmitigated and unembarrassed. Embracing a modernist reverence of inspired imagination, Sillman defines honesty as the most enduring quality of painting. www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/amy_sillman.htm
