Paintings by Bill Adie

 

Individualism, Relationships and Performance

" Life is a challenge and it is full of opportunities and incentives.

One is successful by performing by themselves and/or with groups and the community.

  

The paintings express situations using abstract themes and in most cases using abstract figures.

  

The paintings use some of the following concepts to express the situations:

 - growth by referencing wood grains;

- challenges by referencing waves and paths using chromatic spectrum;

- stability to action, chaos or challenge to stability using straight to irregular to straight waves;

- opportunity by having alternative paths to successfully to go forward;

- movement by having the figures active and irregular waves;

                                                                         - cycles using some of the above."

  

          - Using the abstract process leaves the viewer to participate by creating and relating to their own tales, fantasies or referencing a part of life.

     - The recent paintings are sized using the Fibonacci and PHI (Golden Ratio)= 1.618. Positions and sizing in the painting also using the ratio.
