lyrical abstraction


lyrical abstraction in painting is an opening to personal expression. the term was originally coined by larry aldrich 1; other sources sustain that it was jean josé marchand and georges mathieu who first used the term abstraction lyrique in 1947 in paris. the name “tachisme” is sometimes used to describe this movement.

some notable painters “inspired” in this “style” are: w-ssily kandinsky considered one of the fathers of abstraction, paul klee, frank kupka, robert delaunay, mordecai ardon, norman bluhm, jean rené bazaine, hans hartung, wols, max bill, gunther gerzso, huguette arthur bertrand, georges mathieu, jean miotte, ronnie landfield and stefan fiedorowicz.

the emotion in my work comes from somewhere deep down, and can speak to the inner part of each person… my work is intuitive; colour is the language that i use to express an emotion. it is the interaction of colour that interests me. stefan fiedorowicz.

i am a colourist who has followed the lyrical abstraction movement and i use color to convey something personal and internal… why i choose certain objects to paint and how i ill-strate them is a mystery to me. i do not think about it too much. certain objects are close to me because of what they mean to me or what they look like, their shape. i simplify them and sometimes combine them into pleasing arrangements. i like working over the canvas surface over and over again because most of the time i am not sure of what i want, especially my abstracts done with thick colourful oils and wall scr-pers. 1
