Figures

Inspired by Sydney Sadik

by Kate Joiner

9" x 12" acrylic, mixed media on wood.

"About Last Night" was painted as reprieve  after a long day working on a very tedious piece that was forcing me to paint intricate details which are so "blah" me.  So that night I did a painting for me. Not worrying about the outcome. I am happiest when painting free flowing figures and not having to fixing all the small details , letting the mood and expression be defined by the paint. 

This piece was painted on wood, with a background of very deep blue color with a  teensy little sparkle that can be seen under the right lighting.  the bold loose colors add a contrast and vibrancy and hyper tension that  may resonate with some of us during Covid.

What I love most about this piece is that the door is so prominent and the mask is barley visible, almost as an after thought, the new norm.

Original Art. "Reclining Nude"

by Kate Joiner, 2018/2019

24" x 12" x 1 13/4"

Acrylic, pastel, paper, acrylic medium mounted on cradled birch panel.

Black and white reclining nude was started in 2018 and completed in 2019. This piece is black and buff colored, with subtle warm bronze paint peeking though giving the piece a little more life.  

The words written in the background are created through spontaneous thoughts, somewhat related to the piece. I have been exploring the what happens to your thoughts during insomnia. As a study, I recorded my thoughts during a sleepless night and found they were all non-sequiturs. So the words "She Finally can rest" is slightly hidden on this piece  and unfinished just like the thoughts in the night.

She is rough and loose an unfinished. She is powerful, strong and beautiful. 

The words written in the background are created through spontaneous thoughts, somewhat related to the piece. I have been exploring the what happens to your thoughts during insomnia. As a study, I recorded my thoughts during a sleep night and found they were all non-sequiturs. So the words "Maybe Something for the Wall" were my thoughts in the night as I was trying redecorate my own home. The words are slightly hidden and unfinished just like the unfinished thoughts that come and go through the night. I do not title the pieces after these words because they are not the most important part of the piece and are left to be interpreted by the viewer.
