' Lyne Marshall is a painter of
buoyant semi abstract images
that are both lyrical and moodily
seductive. Her works exploit the fluid properties of acrylic paint, manipulated wet in wet to yield
fresh atmospheric effects and
over painted to create intricate
details.'
Michael Beckmann Director
Ipswich City Art GalleryBiography
Lyne Marshall grew up on Bribie
Island in what she describes as
as a time of immense freedom,
liveing by the sea and running
barefoot on the land. For the
last twenty years she has lived
on a mountain range at Tallegalla
on solar power and with a similar
sense of isolation provided in her
childhood.
Since completing a Visual Arts
Degree in 1994, the artist has
produced numourous solo
exhibitions and exhibited in Japan,
USA, NZ and twice at the Shanghai
Art Fair. Investigation and research
are strong components of Lyne
Marshall's arts practice and she
has published two books on
on the e creative process and the
hidden dimensions in art .Having won several awards and
been shortlisted for others , Lyne's
philosophy it to find the hidden
language in art which is the subject
of her new book.In Sepember 2009 she exhibited
paintings from 2007 - 2009 in an
exhibition titled Underlying Reality
in the C.S.Energy Gallery at the
Ipswich Art Gallery .
Lyne Marshall Artist Statement 2009
My paintings are inner landscapes that look at life from
many perspectives, echoing humanity’s strengths and
fragility, while drawing us deeper into nature’s beauty and
design. Storms, wind and water erode the surface of these
works, peeling back the layers to reveal the secrets of an
energetic and ancient earth. As if mirroring nature’s cycles
our lives move through times of plenty and drought, of
unspeakable beauty and unexpected turmoil.
The use of negative space, and my belief that an artist
can trap positive energy in their work to evoke emotion and
calm contemplation, has been influenced by encounters with
oriental art and my attempts to discover and engage creative
processes. I seek to capture the viewer long enough to have
them consider the world through different eyes, and to allow
an escape, if only briefly, from their daily lives.From the Sub Rosa series 2005 which began a new journey
‘Below the surface of all things lie numerous dimensions.
Landscapes encompass many aspects and confirm the
imprint of humanity. Feelings, emerging and floating in
the atmosphere,are more than skin deep. They anchor
themselves, from a bird's eye view, into organic shapes,
or fall away poetically into infinity.’
