Artist Statement for Marilyn Comparetto
|
|
|
I have been painting for 36 years now and as a self taught artist my journey has been a both exciting and fraught one!
I have centred my studies round various subjects, techniques and styles from figurative to abstract. Experimenting and learning through trial and error I have created good works and disasters. The disasters encouraged me to work harder to make the ideas work and the good works enabled me to leave them on one side knowing that I could go back at any time to continue with confidence.
I have recently been concentrating on expressive works using ‘Mixism’, a new ‘ism’ that I have created. ‘Mixism’ is ideal for my expressive work as it simply means that I have the freedom to not only use mixed media but to use any techniques and styles within one work.
To be totally expressive I need to be free of any harnesses and have all my mediums set out for spontaneity. My artistic memory bank is able to produce visual pieces at will but I need to be stirred into action by the world around me from the time past or present!
Although this expressive style is the centre of my concentration at this time, I am still producing wild life, abstract, still life, collage and figurative works. I have various pieces at different stages of completion set up around my studio this enables me to work on them at any time.
I have registered the words ‘Mixism - the ultimate form of expressionism’ as a trade mark. Each Mixism piece will now have these words stamped on the back making them totally unique.
If any other artists feel that they are working in a similar style I will be interested to hear from them and would encourage them to use the word Mixism when describing the way they work.
