Intersecting Rays

Acrylic and Oil on canvas.
As a multidisciplinary artist, Snow uses different mediums and supports. Each work results from preliminary studies drawn with pen or pencil and which sometimes can amount to 20 sketches.
Snow sees her work as a constant play between order and chaos, logic and emotion. She combines playful shapes with bright colour, organic gestural lines, geometric and linear forms.
Aesthetically, she wants the painting to look as if it “just happened” and paints in such a way that the brushstrokes disappear and the layers become imperceptible. She has a strong inclination to create something which looks instinctive and effortless.
In this painting, a central bifurcation cuts diagonally across the canvas, this diagonal is implied via the negative space around it.
There is also an axis set up through an additional implied line cutting through the composition so that one reads an X, even though there is no X there.
