KRIS CUSH
Kris' creative exploration revolves around the dynamic landscapes of South-East Queensland and the scenic beauty of her Tasmanian homeland. Her work is an ode to the raw, untamed essence of organic abstraction, capturing the intricate dance between perception and reality within the textured, natural forms and hues found in diverse landscapes.
Working with an intuitive touch, Kris employs both acrylic and oil paints to craft her pieces. Her artistic process involves a meticulous exploration of the fascinating interplay of randomness and illusion that nature so generously offers. This ever-present source of inspiration fuels her creative spirit.
What sets Kris's work apart is her masterful use of exaggerated colours, which serve as the scaffolding for her innovative approach to applying paint. Her technique involves layering, creating a mesmerising interplay between transparency, translucency, and opacity. Each layer builds upon the last, revealing the hidden beauty within the landscapes she interprets.
