Perspective
Every brush on her canvas is a well constructed balance between aesthetic contemplation and poetic narrative, an archaic language that speaks straight to the inner world of every spectator by decoding long forgotten feelings and wishes.
Michelle Hold's paintings are much more than abstract representations of life, the presence or absence of colour hues a specific way to propel dreamy visions that travel beyond the barriers of expressionism.
This artist has the magic touch to freeze a moment in time and thus create before your eyes an eternal arena where everything is possible.Kelly Kaimaki, Creative Writer / Curator
About Michelle Hold
Michelle's paintings can be called a balance between aesthetic contemplation and poetic narrative, a visible declaration of an archaic language of the soul. Much more than just abstract paintings her work is layered, lyrical, euphoric yet pensive energy going far beyond expressionism. The presence or absence of colour hues is a specific way to propel wishes, hopes and dreams. Colour is a living and pulsating entity that offers an agreement between who is painting and who is looking at the canvas, resulting in a profound connection between the inner world of who is looking and the desire of the artist to convey. Feelings, emotions and the scarcity of beauty in current times inspire Michelle Hold to paint, creating abstract works which hold a special connection with the viewer, a personal moment frozen in time where all is possible.
Time spent studying architecture has influenced her construction methods, creating images with multiple layering while her experience in the textile industry has formed her equilibrated use of colour. Her paintings which vary in size and style are created with 'dance like' gestures. They are dramatic yet peaceful, loud and vibrant with space for quiet contemplation. They are the artist's visual representation of the eternal energy of the universe.About the Product
In this latest cycle of works for my solo exhibition ‘Turning Inside’, which I have been preparing for the last half year, 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 well being, relaxation and mind opening views.
Color has always been vital to convey my message of harmony and beauty. The paintings are loaded with my favorite blues and greys which bring you immediately into a state of ‘chilling out’.
