Transeunt

T is for Transeunt adj. causing effects outside the mind

This painting was one of the hardest I’ve ever painted. I literally had about 6 different variations before an almost breakdown.

And it was because I had no direction - I just wanted action, I wanted it to be perfect without doing the thinking, planning or hard work.

This is painted over a previous oil panting so I had to use extra texture in an odd section of the painting, I should have done less and kept the sky larger for a better ratio.

Anyhow, this is the final version and I added imitation copper leaf to make the ‘waves’ stand out over the matte varnished texture.

The copper isn’t varnished so it may change over time.

I am a mixed media artist interested in exploring texture and vibrant colours with light and dark tones so the finished work ‘dances’ in people’s eyes. They are an exploration of flow and movement, using sweeping textures and sharp lines to complement each other.

For these works I use moulding paste to create the texture base, these shapes are roughly planned, but as a semi fluid state, the end result is by chance . Rich oil paint colours are blended over and I attempt to harmonize the colour and textures together into a cohesive finished artwork.

Lately I have been exploring the matte effects of acrylic paints, I find these show a quiet darkness that compliment the textures in a different way to oil paints. Having to work quickly also brings a new energy to my brushstrokes.

Victoria FitzGerald is a mixed media abstract artist exploring the balance between texture and colours. Living in Wyndham Vale, Victoria works full time in a different industry and finds time outside these hours to paint. Victoria attended the Gordon Tafe in Geelong to start a Diploma and Degree in Fine Art.

Victoria has been experimenting to find her style since 2013 after a long break from painting.

The painting series “state of being alphabet” was created to enable free experimentation in styles and techniques while finding her preferred style.

Starting with watercolours, moving to acrylic on paper and ink pen and now into what she is currently using; textured oil paintings utilising moulding paste as a textural base to give depth to the colourful works.
