ARTIST STATEMENT

Siobhán Cox-Carlos is a contemporary abstract expressionist following in the American tradition. She revels in the emotive qualities found through colour in nature and the painterly processes required to bring this to life on a given surface.

"My work is deeply influenced by my love of nature, I find inspiration in the hedgerows, flowers and grasses growing wild in my surroundings and also the manmade interventions of old barns and houses cutting into the landscape. I am equally appreciative of the beauty beyond my local landscape. I intend the viewing of my art to be an uplifting experience and use a vibrant range of colours, textures and patterns. which can range from semi figurative to pure abstraction with the artwork itself dictating the direction. I enjoy the 'push and pull' of interacting with the paint and the surface, working intuitively and love the excitement of being immersed in this process, not knowing how it is going to evolve. Above all I hope that the viewer will forget all of what is going on in these turbulent times and experience even a moment’s joy and happiness in the presence of one of my pieces"

Siobhán was awarded an honours degree from the Limerick College of Art & Design (2004).
