Resin on wood
Signed certificate of authenticity.
CANDYLAND is a vivid, dazzling composition of saturated magenta, yellow, blue-grey & white with metallic gold accents, creating an almost psychedelic landscape of whimsy and euphoria.
Candyland is a multilayered resin piece, with great visual depth. Textural components created across different layers are exposed through overlaying layers of varying opacities. The reflective quality of the resin offers a transitional display that changes in different exposures to light throughout the day. Different colours within the piece are amplified in different lighting conditions, with the greatest spectacle being the shimmer of metallic gold accents, a signature imprint Kate applies to all her resin pieces.
It is hard to capture the reflective quality & depth of a resin piece within a photograph, so Kate captures video of her pieces. See 2 videos of Candyland here: www.katepowellart.com/candyland
Fascinated by texture and colour, Kate is a self-taught Australian artist working across Resin and Acrylic mediums to produce offerings of painterly and abstract escapism. Kate’s resin work is an intuitive practice, conveying an abstract response to her internal dialogue, drawing on an ever changing landscape of inspiration and mood. Themes of harmony and discord presented through the unpredictable nature of the medium, reflect a therapeutic working process which utilises a necessary practice of surrender and relinquishment of control.
