Language for Painting

If certainty requires a clean edge, or possibly even a straight edge, what might be added by a curve? A moment of play perhaps, or the opportunity to pivot? Kristy Gorman has it both ways with us and her paintings. Fields appear rectilinear and also corrugated. In this magical architecture of space, form can hover lightly or bear significant structural weight. There is repetition, overlay, and the intimacy of touch.
Then sometimes there are bleeds, as ink asserts itself across paper or canvas. Does this change our perception of things? As it might not be bad behaviour or recklessness of spirit at all. Variability of surface alters our focus. We note subtle changes of colour. Gorman has even used the warp and weave of muslin as substrate in the past. So nuance and movement beneath come into focus. We might do a double-take.
Like the minimal one-word poem by Arum Saroyan that lends the title to this exhibition, Gorman’s work needs always to be seen to be believed.
