'In Flux No. II'

'In Flux No. II', 2019, by Aimee Rytenskild, is the second in a two part series that was inspired by the unique and dense bushland that surrounds my home in the South West. Characterised by bursts of energetic brushstrokes that are juxtaposed against more defined geometrical shapes, this piece is a celebration of colour and texture that will certainly bring life to any space.

Peachy pinks and mustard yellows serve as the dominant colour palate, which are set against a white background. Stark black line work is combined with soft organic drips of paint, creating a unique aesthetic that reveals something new to the viewer every time.

'In Flux No.II' will serve as a bright and modern addition to any home or office space.

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.
