Coalescence (2023) Pintura por Kate Hessling

I am an artist based in Brisbane, Australia working primarily in acrylic. As a self-taught artist I enjoy challenging myself and experimenting with different ideas and subject matters exploring the boundless possibilities of this versatile medium. My subject matter varies from expressionist to impressionist to just strange ideas and concepts depending on whatever pops into my head. My art is original and hand-painted using a variety of tools such as brushes, scrapers, palette knives, fingers and sponges etc. so expect to see brush and tool marks. If you are very lucky you might find a rare stray brush hair embedded in the paint. I am also not a particular fan of straight even lines although I do some geometric abstraction works from time to time.

My influences are mostly from the stunning abstract expressionist works of the mid-20th century which have such a feeling of raw intensity. However, I also love abstracted and moody impressionist landscapes and I see no conflict between such diverse styles. While I sometimes use reference photos or materials these really are just a starting point as once I commence I tend to forget about them and just get carried away in the painting.
