Carolyn Fels

Carolyn Fels’ paintings conjugate the aesthetics of modernist abstraction within the expressive possibilities of various genres. In the reference to the natural world Fels contours her own investigations whilst paying homage to her history as a landscape artist. The canvases, although in some ways formal, geometric and ordered nonetheless express, through variations in surface, colour and ‘imperfections’, or indeed ‘eccentricities’, something more than classical calm. At the core is a determination to represent emotional states and constant humanist values. The result is a fusion of landscape painting with the geometry of abstractions.
