Tanya Hoddinott
Artist Statement
BiographyRandomly choosing a colour, responding to the moment and without any rationale either gently whisper the brush across the canvas or lunge in a maniacal perge, these initial marks are free from anything controlled, pure expression, at some point making sense of it, seeing where the story or the beat unfolds, looking for a lead. It is a process of building up and peeling back, but a feeling of freedom, space and balance is important and colour of course, after that a mood or a rhythm.
I am a narrative painter, but relate to the more abstract works of Miro and Klee. Currently, the landscape and a new direction is hopeful. Surrounded by sub tropical rainforest and the obvious circles and spirals. I have spent many years now looking at nature, learning about it, coming to know it better, painting it, now its time to merge the old with the new.
