 Art Concept:
When asked to describe my art concept, I know I should speak of using a unique combination of illustrative and figurative minimalism to create my line drawings & a combination of abstract impressionism & expressionism in my paintings. However, the truth of the matter is that I do not have an art concept. I have not analysed the form my work takes, nor have I studied or borrowed techniques used by the Old Masters or other contemporary artists. My line drawings are simply form or matter exactly as I see it & my abstract pieces represent emotions so varied & complicated that I need a myriad of colours to express them!
Whether classed as illustration, minimalism or line art, my drawings form unconsciously (& fairly effortlessly) in my mind. Whenever I see a person or creature I find inspiring, whether I encounter these subjects in the flesh, or in photographs, I feel compelled to recreate the image or impression they have formed, in my mind, onto paper.
The most important thing, for me, is to see (or feel) emotion in my subjects.
My abstract pieces are created at random, whenever the expression of emotion is too strange, unworldly or immense to express as a drawing. Music & emotion create colours in my mind that cannot be conveyed in lines, so I paint instead! However, most recently, by adding colours, to prints of my line drawings, I have discovered a further outlet for my abstract expressionism.
Finally, my work is only possible thanks to my immensely talented artist husband, Jean Lagadec. He is my supporter and critic; he frees my mind & gives me the space I need to draw at any time of the day or night and since I lose track of everything when I’m working, Jean also reminds me to eat...
