Rhea Bailey - innerscape
Leading Cypriot and International Artist Rhea Bailey presents for the first time in an exhibition her new works on paper entitled "innerscape" at Opus 39 Gallery in Nicosia, Cyprus from 10-22 May 2010.
The exhibition consists of some 65 works on paper painted in twelve unities, recalling the artist's monumental experience (Triptycha and Eniaptycha). They reflect new aspects of the artist experience and contribution to contemporary art. In this exhibition, the painterly aesthetic and spiritual concerns meet in harmony to narrow the gap between life and art.
'Innerscape' is a perfect orchestration of color and form; it makes the inward outward; it is a direct transformation of pure emotion and energy to the painting surface, bringing balance and harmony to life. Rhea demonstrates her ability in masterful handling of surface, materials and working on different sizes, large and small, with the same ease, without losing control of her creative elements.
The exhibited works evoke powerful emotional responses and provide a conceptual bridge to post–painterly abstraction. The artist's interventions exceed the painting process and contribute to the structure of the artwork, moving from regular to irregular, through altering the painting surface.
“In her show, Rhea Bailey dips her brush in her own soul and paints her own nature. Her art touches the heart and the soul.” Dr. Arafat Al-Naim writes in the exhibition catalogue.
Wassily Kandinsky said, “Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colours, and that you be a true poet”. This last is essential'. Rhea shares the same thoughts and values in her works and for that she is involved in strong deep emotions, a painterly quality and formal elements of abstract painting.
