artist: Petra Dippold Goetz artist: Pauline Rignall
Petra is a painter of rhythm, time and space. Her abstract works is ethereal
and flows this way and that way in pre-determined patterns. Its an advancement on
‘drip’ painting (Jackson Pollock) because the artists layers the colour and then using
an implement drags the colour around the substrate. Petra also using paint on the rims
of circular objects (lids or cups perhaps) to create a repetitive unifying shape which
balances the composition.
I find these image at first glance ‘pleasing’ and at second glance quite absorbing.
Maybe there is something here that can develop in large works? I’m sure there is.
