Artist Statement:
Bernadette Badali was born in
Toronto, Canada in 1963. She
is a graduate of the Ontario
College of Art and the
University of Guelph, where
she explored painting and
photography. She continues to
work in these two mediums,
focusing on textures in nature
and architecture as the
subject matter.
"These paintings explore my
fascination with texture,
while looking to nature and
its surfaces as the
inspiration. I have learned
that tactile surfaces in
nature are formed through a
process of growth and
layering. I borrow this method
to build the organic forms in
the composition using fabrics
and papers with different
qualities. I structure the
forms within the painting, but
the surface area, such as
folds and ripples, are created
randomly through the
flexibility of the materials,
further imitating nature's
process. Since I am using
physical materials like guaze,
string and paper, I am able to
construct images that are more
sculptural and consequently,
even more textural! Once I
have built the composition, I
use oil paint to add further
texture, colour and personal
expression to the environment
that I have created." ...
