Artist Statement:
Debra Bretton Robinson
Artist Statement:
My paintings are inspired by
the beauty and complexity of
landscape forms both real and
imagined. I use the subject of
landscape to explore the edge
between abstraction and
representation with an
emphasis on the expressive use
of color. I believe color is
the soul of a painting, often
reflecting the tension between
what is known and what is
felt. Like the Abstract
Expressionists, I am inspired
by the act of painting itself
and by the sensual
articulation of color and
form. I prefer acrylics and
collage because of their
potential for flat shapes and
washes of color. When
painting, I weave thin
outlines around graphic shapes
in a gestural bravado, drawing
from a palette of uninhibited
colors. In the end, my
paintings are a symphonic
consonance of lustrous hues
and expressive forms; a
harmony of abstract marks and
recognizable imagery. I paint
in my studio as well as in the
field, the scale of my work
ranging from small studies to
much larger canvases. The
Fauves, as well as The Seven,
have played important roles in
the development of my style.
Favorite artists include Henri
Matisse, William Henry
Johnson, Tommy Thompson,
Lawren Harris, Fairfield ...
