the artist's story
Gayle Lorraine is a self taught artist living and working in Mountain Ranch, California. In May 2014, she began working exclusively in monochrome. Her abstract compositions come from deep within, they are expressions of emotions rather than visual realities. Black and gray marks made by brush and palette knife scrawl, loop and writhe across her canvases. White dots rise and fall like dandelion fluff, shimmer as stars in a warm, soft universe or appear as tiny fish netted by finely drawn webbing. Her paintings embody the vastness of the universe and the depth of the sea. Originating from a process that allows her sub-conscious creative self to have full control, her mesmerizing works reveal each viewers own unique interpretation.
She explains her work simply, “I strive to create balance, beauty, depth, and motion in my black and white acrylic paintings. With knife and brush, fluid gesture and precise, delicate overlays, my intuitive process reveals hidden narratives. I invite the viewer to become an active participant in my art process: to journey into the canvas boundary and discover the symbolic language that speaks to each individual." She adds, "The finished art is there now on the blank canvas. I am only the hand that wields the tools for the creative spirit. I use paint to pick out what has already been completed..”
