About artist: Carmel Marrinan a former gallerist and Designer is now a full time /abstract expressionist artist.Through her art, characterised by a shade scale typical of the artistic movements of the first half of the 20 th century, the artist investigates the dynamics of the relationship between matter, colour and the surrounding environment with the aim of representing entirely new experiences. In her practice Carmel seems to recall the pictorial tendencies of the Fauves and the Expressionists with bold brushstrokes and bright intense colours putting the interiority and the emotions in the foreground . Inspiration has been found from her travels in particular Italy and West Cork Where she spends much of her time .In her artist’s statement Carmel says “We all come from our own individual perspective in how we view and how we create , the magic is in the connection where what we see is what we love …sometimes inexplicably.That often immediate connection between the artist’s work and the viewer fascinates me …” Carmel works both in her studio in Dublin and in West Cork and is presently enjoying great success with her paintings in private collections in Ireland , London and Europe.
About artwork: This little piece was painted during lockdown where I spent a lot of days in quietness alone with my thoughts . The person to the foreground is sitting in quiet contemplation preparing for the comfort of meditation.Behind a lamp glows in the fading evening light and tall windows protect from the perceived threat of the outside world . The painting is acrylic and ink on board and is all about comfort ,calm and peace .
