Painting

Sinead McKillican

Stimulating Optimism

Sinead McKillican’s work involves the emancipation of geometric shapes, transitioning formal 2D shapes into 3-dimensional minimal abstract works. Transformation methods include the utilisation of folds, pleats and curves; techniques that permit the fashioning of multifaceted relief works that blur the boundary between painting and sculpture. Ultimately these techniques offer an opportunity not only to transform ‘things’ but also to express one’s own individuality. Sinead’s vision is focused on creating thought-provoking elegant aesthetics that manifest through the fusion of simple forms, neutral colours and a limited materials palette; elements key to tantalising the viewers senses. The intention for the work is to create visuals free from words, literal expression and ‘to communicate only to that extent that…’works‘…will serve to induce or intensify the viewers natural desire for contemplation without the benefit of a guiding principle’ (quote by John McLaughlin). Another significant element of the work is its placement and / or repositioning, for it is these decisions according to Richard Artschwage ‘… generates a new experience for the viewer, a fresh reading / interpretation’. Essentially the work is a personal expression, a synthesis of intuition, life experiences and critical analysis; a journey intended to fashion objects that stimulate optimism.
