Artist Statement: Every painting tells a story, this painting explores the invisible energy between living things, large and small. We can't see it, and you need to be fully present to really feel. If you squint, this could be a wriggling petri dish of micro organisms. This work is about celebrating the circle of life at every stage. The lotus often conjures up thoughts of a perfectly symmetrical image of a flower in its prime, but in reality the different stages of life are just as important, and sometimes even more memorable, which is why I paint the stages of the flowers, leaves and pods, some bending over after spreading their seeds, some reaching to the sun.'
‘Biomorphic Botanical Dance' is stretched with painted sides ready to hang. A contemporary, gestural fine art abstract, and forms part of Naomi's new 'Lotus Garden' collection. Soothing emerald and olive greens, vibrant ochre and mocha hues plus a dash of granite blue make up the colour palette, surrounded by heavily textured, calming white. Naomi's sweeping brushstrokes and calligraphic freehand marks urge the viewer to lean in close.
Naomi Crowther's studio is on the Far South Coast of NSW, and she takes cues from a local private lotus garden as inspiration for this artwork.
