Trisha Kanellopoulos - Under Pressure_2 - Sold

The work of the American Trisha Kanellopoulos is strongly influenced by her instinctive and visual impressions of the landscape. The artist follows a strict compositional structure, which is dominated by a horizontal structure. The desired haptic impression is obtained by using earth as the primary painting material. In this way, superimposed layers are created on the canvas, which in their hardness and softness, coarseness and fineness, always come together to form a poetic overall picture of form and space.

"For years I have been using self-made natural colors, based on soils from all over the world, to understand the aesthetics of the line and the elegance of the landscape. My involuntarily received visual impressions of the landscape have an effect on my painting and are reflected in my pictures. I also use it to visualize a balance between rigor and flexibility - a unity of form, space and clarity". | Artist statement
