Deborah Batt
Wokingham, Berkshire, United Kingdom
Although my paintings have become increasingly non-objective over the years, all my work still originates from the idea of community, the towns we build, the cities and the way we shape and destroy the rural landscape.
This was influenced by my interest in maps and aerial photography and looking at things from a different perspective. I hope I show within the limits of non-objective painting the shape of the environment as it changes, as it diminishes in one direction, grows into another.
Non-objective artwork is an exercise in geometric abstraction, space related to shape. My subject being the painting itself. Non-objective art explores the potential of abstraction, the shape, brush marks, colours, tones, lines and texture. This lets the viewer respond emotionally to the painting. My vocabulary of communication is the fusion of colour and structure.
