An exhibition of abstract paintings that play with the illusion of three dimensions.
The sharp lines of Wellington artist Amanda Wilkinson’s paintings satisfy her “need for precision”, a consequence of her previous career as an industrial designer. In contrast to this, she enjoys the freedom that painting gives her to create seemingly impossible forms that can’t exist in reality.
Instead of using masking tape, Amanda enjoys the challenge of painting her lines by hand. This technique creates a very flat finish that accentuates the illusion of three dimensions. A colour palette influenced by her home and local surroundings compliments the hard edges of these shaped paintings (or wall sculptures, depending on how strongly you perceive the third dimension).
“Indefinite describes not only the ‘forms’ in my paintings but also seems a suitable word to describe the unusual kind of limbo the world is in now”
Please note Pataka's weekend opening hours 11am-4:30pm.
