Tumble Down
The intoxicating colour and flawless form of the piece contrasts with the ruggedness and raw nature of the loft.
Executed on MDF and painted with layers of emulsion and acrylic paint, the piece stacked on palettes is a seduction of colour. The shimmering light that seeps through the loft window illuminates and dances on the carefully crafted application of pantone hued painted planes. The sides of the work in turn reflect back it’s kaleidoscope of colours throughout the interior of the loft.
The interior of the building and the scenery through the window do not function as mere background but as an intrinsic part of the piece. Everything that surrounds the piece including the wooden palette where the work is resting is part of the ‘environment’.
The spectator, who is an indispensable element of the work, is invited to appreciate the work from all angles and investigate the structure, colour and space and subsequently absorb the environment that slowly changes with infinite number of factors.
What drives the artist to develop such work is apparent. It is an intuitive dialogue driving her creative energy - her imagination in action manipulating material, colour, space, and explore other dimensions like time and motion.
“In the final analysis, a work of art is intuitive and intuition can not be overcome” Paul Klee.
The funnels and the plant pots used here as paint receptacles and the paint that flows from these, in excess, reveal an emotional and psychological state of obsession. They further reveal Ruth’s methodical yet playful approach to three dimensional form.
