Reflections

“Reflections” is a vibrant and expressive mixed media abstract painting by Kathryn Gruber.

It shows many layers of highly saturated reds, pinks, orange, turquoise and yellow with thick texture on black, deep purple and white. Enthusiastic expression is evident with scratching, red oil stick, oil pastel, and pencil marks applied with vigor.

With abstract forms and bold hues, the vivid colors and dynamic arrangement of shapes evoke a sense of depth. Layering, washes, scratching and sanding are used in unconventional ways to maximise expression and movement.

The combination of colours provides a visual vibration that is interesting, and adds to the overall drama.
