Big Dreaming, New York! - Acrylic on Canvas 47'' x 78'' Spontaneity, action, passion and emotion fill the energetic canvases vibrantly painted by Kerrie Warren.  By allowing her unconscious emotions to guide her brush, Warren creates powerfully vivid works of gestural abstraction.  Her active style places her directly in the work, her bold spirit present in every confident splatter of acrylic.  In fact, the artist handcrafts every aspect of each finished canvas herself, from the stretching, to the whitewashing, to the painting itself.  Therefore, she develops an ever-growing relationship with the work, which touchingly comes through in the finished products.

Though her works are reminiscent of the seminal abstract painter Jackson Pollack, they are entirely contemporary, rooted in the artist’s own modern existence and unique experiences.  In each painting, she refines the conceptual ideals held by the Abstract Expressionists, reinterpreting them and translating her own artistic vision into a movement all her own.  As pigments build upon one another, layer upon layer, Warren conjures a tenuous balance.  Carefully, she harnesses the rhythmic movement of her strokes, pulling them together to produce a work of stunning, if unlikely, harmony.

Born in Melbourne, Australia, Kerrie Warren has formally studied painting and ceramics and holds a degree in transpersonal art therapy.  She currently lives and works as a full time artist in Crossover, Victoria.
