"The Conversation" I believe there are constant conversations ... everywhere, between everything, 24/7.
This exhibition started with observations of the The Sandhill Cranes.
Conversations amongst Ourselves;
With Our bodies ~ inside and out;
With offspring, and family and home.
We converse with our mates and friends; With lovers and pets;
With Our environment; The weather;
Our tribe; Butterflies, and Sol. And all the things have conversations with each other and the environment in which we all live. There is talk, dance, song, humans write, we create, we can communicate quietly or with a
look; through touch and intimacy. We communicate with the World, the Heavens, With Nature; With the Great Spirit; With The Universe ... Maybe even with the Devil.
One way I communicate is through my art. This exhibition was inspired by the Sandhill Cranes, meeting in the thousands, and their obvious connections to each other and their chatter.
I. Diane Clement Artist Statement Painting professionally since 2003, as a self-taught artist, I continually push the envelope of painting by mixing all types of paint and liquids (wine, beer, alcohol, polyurethane, fire, etc.) and the use of experimental and unconventional materials and techniques epitomizes expression of personal artistic freedom. My work has been described as “Freedom Made Visible.”
I continue to build an arsenal of techniques and a wealth of knowledge as the natural evolution from my experience continues to generate art for the Soul, not the sofa.
I am rather obsessed with painting the understated, often ignored or taken for granted, every day, background pieces of nature, and life, with vivid colors and energetically thrown paint, etc.
To visually develop these observations in an abstracted way, frequently presenting the everything of everyday life and nature, in juxtaposition. I work almost exclusively outdoors with Mother Nature incorporating all that she brings to the experience.
Freedom is freedom whether you came from it or discover it along the way. I have found my voice through this self-taught journey. - I. Diane Clement
