Elle Guest
Guest?s paintings deal with the notion of care, abstracting the human body to be a minimal form that is infantile, still forming and vulnerable.
The paintings are nurtured from the beginning, from the first coat of acrylic and throughout the process of making decisions of how she wants the forms to socialise and co-exist in the space of the canvas.
Acrylics are used to achieve flatness as well as a softness of colour, relating to a gentleness that resides within the space the forms exist in. The forms learn to co-exist within the space by intertwining, curving around, lying on top or below of each other.
