Laurie De Camillis
Wolfe Island Barns - May 1-31 2008
Artist Statement
We spend our lives creating order out of the 100 years or so that we are given. Some of us do this through words or music. Others use mathematics. I do this by painting. I am a visual person. I often see a landscape, a human pose, a barn and I experience a sudden thrill; a glimpse of something beautiful – a truth.
The act of painting becomes a process of translation, an effort to reveal (and share) that truth. We learn in many different ways, not all of these being linear. Painting has its place in revealing that which is not yet known. Creating relationships of colour and space with image association and the motion of line can produce an artifact which is dense and truthful. Although I have a background in abstract painting, today I feel compelled to remain closer to the likeness of the subject. I want to find its truth, not fracture it into parts.
I like my paintings to be individual but respectful of the original image, like the moment itself, a portrait of that subject whether a tree, a face, or a barn. The subject carries in it the lifetime it has possessed. The composition reveals its relationships. The light and texture place it in time.
