Virginia Leonard“Paint is laid on paint, mark is laid on mark. The subject becomes less important as the painting progresses. Often the sheer thickness of the paint, between the small valleys and crags of paint add to the paradox of realised space.Sometimes the subject is formed by the drama of colour – forms caught up in the method of paint laid upon paint. Often in the painting I invent visual ideas and images that are summoned up by the automatic gesture, where the marks have no specific reference purpose. It is a play of mind and imagination” Virginia now lives in Matakana with her young family where she paints professionally. Her current body of work investigates mixed media gouache, acrylic and resin on canvas. She explores the relationships between form and the illumination of resin.
