Sweet Hysteria

Paintings on canvas and wood.
Hysteria reveals itself in the colours and seemingly composed and yet shimmering forms.
Sweet honey ostensively adhered to the painting underneath the strict layout of the image. Contenance!

The material wriggling boldly through the raster, is not smooth and orderly but casually distributed when observed in detail. Only through thorough examination does the distinct handling of the  materials reveal itself to make the image come alive.
The observer shall be drawn into the image and dive under the glimmering surface of the multilayered works.
The title implies a positive restlessness almost like an invitation to come and play. Hysteria, a word for a condition of great uncertainty... Regardless of the sex when combined with the word sweet, all negativity disappears and  it can be transformed into a beautiful space.... glowing astutely.
