Just Now

Description

Feelings, emotions and the scarcity of beauty in current times inspire Michelle Hold to paint, creating abstract works which she hopes will hold a special connection with the viewer; a personal moment frozen in time where all is possible. In this latest series of works for my solo exhibition ‘Turning Inside’ I have been concentrating on my inner voice. I would describe this series of paintings creations from a place of no time, no space no body, a place from where I gather strength, definitely a place of freedom and peace.There is still very much construction in the composition through applying multiple layering, but at the same time my desire to convey a sense of freedom, almost floating in the universe, through applying immense free gestures, while leaving space for surprise, for unexpected things to happen. Simultaneously as I painted, I could feel a force within me wanting to catch the eye of the viewer and carry him along with me to a place of wellbeing, relaxation and mind opening views. Colour has always been vital to convey my message of harmony and beauty. The paintings are loaded with my favourite blues which bring you immediately into a state of ‘chilling out’ but then too, there are also many tones of magenta which, at the moment is the colour that gives me most joy and cuddles and embraces my soul.
