Artist Statement for Cariya Breemen
|
|
|
The artist utilizes a wide range of materials, colors and formats to communicate thoughts and ideas. Her art spans a wide genre, from monochrome abstract pieces on one end of the spectrum to slightly more figurative paintings that combine a wider range of colors within one painting on the other end of the spectrum. Yet other pieces combine these elements along the entire continuum, in some cases also featuring materials that add texture and depth. The current collections include works organized under the categories of ‘expressions in color’, ‘earthly expressions’, ‘time’, ‘space’, ‘textures’ and ‘pure texture’.
The art crosses and goes beyond cultural boundaries and their limitations, drawing upon the artist’s personal exposure to a plethora of experience derived from a wide range of different cultures. Some pieces are culturally bound and their meaning needs to be understood and interpreted within the respective environment that provides the frame of reference and context for these particular paintings. Other works don’t have a particular cultural connection, but are originating from a reinterpretation of a particular time or period in history, in this case being tied to a specific time, but not to a particular space. However, ultimately, the art is not subjecting itself to any particular culture, time or space, but creates in its totality a mosaic of impressions that allow the viewer to reach beyond one particular point of origin.
Influenced by research on the Fluxus movement in the early 1960’s, as well as Conceptual Art after 1965, and especially further interpretation, redefinition and development of Abstract Expressionism, Kinetic Art, Color-field Painting as well as Op Art throughout the course of the 20th century, the artist has reinterpreted, humanized and utilized the influences of these movements in her contemporary styles of painting. As such, her work in general cannot be strictly identified and related to any one of these movements or schools, but while researching the meaning of many, the artist goes beyond the limitations of pre-set forms of expression and combines and rearranges parts of the former movements’ languages to communicate her own unique post-modern vision.
Inspired by intense study in a wide range of subjects, such as sociology, psychology, mathematics, astrology and philosophy, the artist utilizes these insights in her art to translate these learnings across a multiplicity of disciplines and put them into context on the canvas. The artist thus breaks down pre-set perceptions of boundaries – physically as well as psychologically – to combine thoughts that produce unification of concepts and ideas on a new plane.
Analyzing the traditions of both Eastern and Western philosophy, the artist combines an understanding and perception of meaning and consciousness of life and the universe by reflecting the interconnectedness of conscious and subconscious in the creation of her art work. The creation of this reality becomes manifest through the process of its thought and reflection.
Change in this context is a constant and necessary aspect of expressing the full meaning of the work. Each piece has its own intrinsic meaning that provides the framework for its full context, however, ultimately, it is left open to the individual interpretation by the viewer.
