We are but Stardust, by Deborah Rhee

Description

Deborah Rhee

Deborah Rhee is an abstract artist whose work has been exhibited in Australia, Canada, the UK and here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Her works ask the viewer to work to determine underlying form and structure, and in that process the viewer gains a deeper understanding of both the way we see and the way we think metaphorically about colour and light. She writes:

“I love the act of revealing and concealing. Scraping back, painting over and scratching into a canvas. It is an intuitive process for me. My hand feels guided toward the next color and the brush shows me how it would like to dance. Each layer is a test of courage to move forward as each application of color, or even tint, has the potential to lose what is already apparent or merge and validate a maturity between the existing colors. I enjoy the element of waiting, to see how each layer affects the last and whether a resolution has been found or there is more layering to be done. It truly is a journey.”
