Red Escarpement Thunder

Candyss’ experimental work is very much process driven and revolves around mixed media and materials (acrylic paint, oil paint, oilsticks, spray paint, metallic dust, iridian pigments). Painting on mostly larger canvases the painting process is intuitive, organic, from memory and involves a lot of spontaneous mark making. The canvas seems to do the talking whilst Candyss creates automatic markings, layering of colour and thick gestural and textural brushstrokes.
This painting ‘RED ESCARPMENT THUNDER’ is held in the collection and is for sale and on view at the gallery.
‘This painting was from one of many trips out to the desert of the Northern Territory. The rich red dirt, the sage bushes and spinifex, the rusty fences, the glow of the dusk in the West, the huge dark storms clouds in the east and rain on the horizon all resulted in creating ‘RED ESCARPMENT THUNDER’.
