Colleen Guiney
Colleen’s paintings represent the physical act of painting and the inner calmness that occurs when she paints. Her practice is guided by a process driven approach as she explores the relationship between surface and paint, with subconscious thought, chance and spontaneity playing vital roles. Balancing landscape and abstraction, her paintings reflect personal narratives and a deep engagement with place.
In the making of her paintings, she expresses something that is felt rather than observed and explores texture, colour, collage and intuitive marks that reference memory and her lived experience.
Colleen studies how things sit in relationship to each other. She is drawn to salvaged surfaces to work on, which bear traces of their history. She builds a narration of production - a collaboration between making and materials with the artwork holding the world as she experienced it, connecting her to the feelings of a time and place.
