Wonderful colour combination of natural and bold in this energetic work.
Rowena Martinich recontextualises the tradition of abstract expressionism, upscaling and positioning it into diverse public and private locations, and transforming once ordinary spaces into luscious colour-scapes.
In the studio Martinich is driven by process. Her paintings are constantly shifting and evolving, building on each other to reflect a particular interest in the technical capacity of paint, each new body of work displaying a curiosity in the application of fluid layers. Informed by years of painting, Martinich works intuitively to create seemingly spontaneous and playful yet balanced compositions; rich in luminous colour and gesture.
Often, Martinich’s works are found in unexpected places; stairwells, train stations, building façades…out of the grey mundanity of the urban landscape, colour leaps from the walls; ‘I love that saturating the retinas of my audience can momentarily distract them enough that they can have a dose of pure joy, where they are immersed in the energy that my artwork is imbued with, where the physicality of its creation is visually depicted through giant sweeping brushstrokes and liquescent expression.’
