'Drip'

Drip, by Aimee Rytenskild, is an abstract piece that serves as a celebration of colour and texture. It features explosions of yellow, turquoise and red that emerge from the centre of the composition. Defined, geometrical shapes are combined with splashes of undefined brushstrokes and droplets. This piece will certainly serve as a visual feature in any home or business space, and add a joyful burst of colour.

'Drip' was painted in 2017 as part of the 'Surfaces' series, presented at FortyFive Downstairs Gallery in Melbourne. This is one of the last pieces that is still available for purchase from this collection.

I am a visual artist currently living in the South West region of WA.I create figurative paintings that incorporate the abstract principals of materiality and expressionism. Exploring the experience of womanhood through an autobiographical lens, my work examines societal representations and symbolism that have become emblematic of femininity.

Inspired by fellow Australian artists such as Vali Meyers and Del Katherine Barton, I love to create large scale pieces full of dense imagery, often juxtaposing different patterns and colours against each other in order to create lush visual scenes full of vibrancy and detail. The woman in my painting's are always the main character, emoting a sense of strength and holding the viewers gaze.

I started my career completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Sculpture in 2016 at RMIT university, and have since exhibited at a range of galleries in both Melbourne and Perth, including my first solo exhibition at Forty Five Downstairs in Melbourne. In 2019 I co founded Old Coast Studio, a sculpture studio in WA focused on metal based work. I now focus on selling my work directly to buyers as well as working on commissioned projects.
