Featured Artist of the Month, October 2011 - "Dianne K. Webb"

VOX is proud to introduce Artist of the Month, October 2011 - "Dianne K. Webb"

As an artist, I am preoccupied with the experience of self-awareness, of awakening new ideas and thoughts within the psyche, of visually bringing to the surface that which we often do not see or consider.

I believe that art is a dance, a communication between artist and viewer...a statement laid bare until picked up and incorporated into a new narrative. As I work, I want to find myself exploring new perspectives—I want to feel uneasy, jarred, contemplative, or reflective as images, colors, textures clash or meld. I am fascinated by the moment of “ah ha!” Of “really?”

Technically, I paint in oils or ink on canvas, applying pigments with brushes and palette knife, sometimes using rice paper or gesso, plaster, modeling compound, or found objects to build texture or depth. Colors are mixed on a palette or directly onto the piece. I work from the mind’s eye to the canvas—each piece wholly constructed there—at times I work furiously with a clear intention, at other times I move slowly into the piece with a vague idea—working what is known, backing off and studying it, then continuing At present I am experimenting with three dimensional surfaces that can be hung on a wall as a base for paintings, palate knife work, and mixed media pieces.
