My name is Jasmine Mansbridge. I have lived around
Australia,
currently I reside in Glen Innes New South Wales. I am a 31 year old
painter. I have a website which can be seen some of my previous artwork. I
am working on an exhibition at the moment and so have several new pieces to
enter into your competition. My website is at heartstartart.com. Please take
the time to view my website for more information about myself and my art,
which is my consuming passion.
I will now attach my paintings:
“Totally wrapped up in you”: This piece has been painted with acrylic paint
on unprimed
Belgium
linen. The image of the octopus serves to reinforce the text and title of
the painting. I am finding myself increasingly absorbed with the connection
between words and images and the need for one to be complimented by the
other. I am enticed by the beauty of mosaic and this often comes into my
work. I like the surface to be controlled and balanced.
“Unchain My Heart”: This painting for me is an exercise in simplicity,
trying to say so much with so little. It is expressed in the intense
separation of the opposing colors, yellow and blue. These colors push and
pull, just like the heart in love, the need for balance is great, though it
can be so hard to find.
“You and Me, as in art”: The heart in life is fraught with danger when in
love, the grand prix, black and white and the entanglement of the text
represents the intensity of feeling when in love. The image, supported by
the text indicates great involvement on both an external and internal level.
This painting attempts to capture that intensity with both its color and
movement. (Jasmine Mansbridg)
