Description

COASTAL RETREAT No. 1

Here is lyrical abstraction-- a fusion-collage-- simultaneously sparse and exciting. It is an effort visually narrate the point where logic meets emotion. In that place, change with compassion can be unbound. Although it came together in my studio in Asheville, North Carolina, it started –first, from a sketch- to acrylic on canvas then, photographed and digitally rendered.

THEME:: Landscapes

Landscapes (inner and outer) offer the opportunity to bring together slices of my original art in a collage, digitally-rendered. Blended elements, both abstract and organic, become a “fusion” lyrically abstracted and ripe for story telling.

In this case, the narrative is about facing challenges-- a visual metaphor for life as we know it. It symbolizes engagement and possible joie de vivre.

MEDIA:: Sketch for composition to canvas and/or paper, sometimes, oil pastels, sometimes acrylic paint. The result then captured as a photo and brought to create a JPEG. Finally, digital layering of the original materials.


Objective:: Narrative art with emotive content- that offers an opportunity for the viewer to interpret the story being told, and thus add to the story. (Some are inner landscapes.) Whether as a digital abstractionist, working as well on canvas and with photography to produce mixed media images, my hope is to engage the viewer.

Symbolism :: Ever a sense of joy of life, transitions, new perceptions that evoke positive change, the embracing of an inner - symbolic-mythic- visual landscape that can reveal how disparate parts work together when visual impressions, founded on simple or more complex designs, build on a promising tale of life on Earth.

MORE ABOUT THE FUSION ART PROCESS ::
All of my fusion art and contemporary abstract images –whether impressionist or expressionist- feature many, many, many layers blended for "pasted effects" to reveal - through pattern, texture, and light- a visual narrative about life on our blue planet that welcome your interpretation.

* Generally, you will find any number of hidden characters in my art work. (((*:*))


ARTIST’S NOTE::

“These images may lead you to imaginative, emotive spaces where north and south meet east and west. A mindful philosophy and the use of technology can intersect and connect at a center to become vehicles for narratives about life on our blue planet. As we, each of us, and as a collection of living creatures face the fraught process of selection every day, may we find what is positive and possible.” ~ Zsanan




GALLERY NOTES::

ZSANAN STUDIO CONTEMPORARY FUSION ART is designed to enhance your spaces when you add your unique touch. Her digitally-rendered collages- abstract, lyrical, and often vivid in color, are visual narratives frequently compassionate, curious, provoking- even playful or funny- emotive - interesting.

ZSANAN incorporates joie de vivre in her work. She focuses on fictional or allegorical scenes. Inner landscapes invite viewer interpretation as the artist’s digital rendering works with color, light, and texture via hundreds of layers until the final image emerges through digital manipulation.

Purposely constructed, the elements collaborate and translate a collection of concepts and forms into shape. They seek a shared moment— a story- a metaphor- a feeling- a connection with the viewer. The juxtaposition of color with changing light symbolizes positive change -- the journey to new perspectives – that very story of connection.”
