Serene Greene
ARTIST STATEMENT
My current body of work ,“Urban Myths”, is derived from notebooks and
journals kept while traveling and living in England and Vancouver BC ,
during the past decade. These works are a cumulative visual diary of
glimpses and impressions that explore the relations between self and
urban environments. I am fascinated by the layering of history and
experiences in cities, and the visual memories left behind in the
architectural elements.
My personal painter's philosophy is that art should contain a mystery to
be unraveled and take the viewer to a new place or a new way of
seeing. In my interpretation, I strive for a contrast between
representation and abstract, evoking ethereal moods rather than a
literal interpretation. My paintings reflect my fascination with architectural
spaces, the layering of history, and the unexpected solitude of human
experience that occurs therein. Created with successive layers of images,
written messages, texture and colour, the paintings fuse techniques of
painting and sculpture, and represent the excavating of secrets and
unrevealed life.
I currently live in Santa Barbara, Ca
