Kunstart: Malerei
Technik: Ölmalerei
Stil: Abstrakt
Statement:
In the process of creating a painting I shift back and forth between abstract and figurative work. The abstract is based on improvisation. At some point, with any luck, a compositional constellation begins to emerge and a connection takes place between me and the painting.
Philippe Guston once pointed out that there is a mysterious element to the picture plane –“an imaginary plane that defies any traditional explanation”. I believe that the moment we become lost in a painting, we are closest to the space between heaven and earth that the Japanese describes as “Nakazura”, the silent place of all and nothing. An inexpressible place, between dream and reality, for escape and solace which hopefully, ultimately heals and leaves the viewer with a fresh way of seeing Home Base.
Vita / Lebenslauf:
Anett Kilén Kennedy, I, is born in Oslo, but left at the age of eighteen to study abroad. That was about 30 years ago, and I moved back to Oslo last year, - I missed the Norwegian nature and being close to my roots.
My main medium as a painter has always been oil, and my artwork has been exhibited in in juried group and solo shows in Norway, France and the United States during the last twenty years. (See attached curriculum vita for more information).
As a painter I am inspired by Francis Bacon, Richard Diebenkorn, Mark Rothko, Olivier Debré and Rembrandt, - Bacon and Rembrandt probably most important.
The art is expressionist and moves between the figurative and the abstract. For me the most important is to experiment and discover the undiscovered in the process. I enjoy to explore the unknown landscape. However sometimes I do more classically figurative landscapes just for the joy of it. Painting to me is a free place where everything can happen and be revealed. It is like the closest thing to crossing the veil to the world that we cannot see.
I have Bachelor of Arts in International Studies and French (Monterey, California), a Bachelor of Arts in journalism (Norway) and a Bachelor of Fine Arts cum laude in drawing and painting (Laguna College of Art and Design, Laguna Beach, California).
