Artist Reviews:
Simply Stated
Thick paint and blended edges
are the key elements to Sandra
Pratt’s newest work, inspired
by both her world travels and
her own imagination.
“ I want to keep the
paintings as simple as
possible. Clean, yet complex,
while blending the edges,
that’s in all of these ...

Artist Statement for Sandra Pratt
|
|
|
My paintings reflect my view of the world. I create form through color and shape, mixing edges to blend into the next shape. There are surprises with what happens in creating art. Something unexpected will happen and my painting will take on a new direction. I like big shapes, contrast. Earth and Sky meeting.. I am inspired by the vivid blue of the sky on a clear Colorado morning, the haze of humidity and sunshine in Texas, everything seething with life and passion.
My painting is a direct experience. I want to keep the freshness of every single paint application, which is why I am drawn to palette knife paintings. It keeps me in the moment and not hesitating. Instantaneous artistic expression is what I'm going for. Though I love many different styles, my style is definitely about the emotional connection I'm feeling when I'm painting.
There are many ways to tell a story, my painting story begins with simple shapes and lines, color to create contrast, the story of beauty in simplicity. Nature is vast and spontaneous, I feel art creation can have the same energy, following an inspired idea, conveying emotion through color and contrast, rather than copying what I see and translating it into a beautiful picture; I allow my inspired idea for a painting and follow the flow of it. Allowing the painting the painting be what it becomes.
