In his abstract mixed media paintings, Hugh Daly has found an affinity for including collage as an
element in randomly dissecting loose lines, organic shapes, value and color, and as a vehicle for
discovery. Hugh’s work is centered on process, which begins with both opaque and transparent layers of color and line as a base on the canvas and takes on new and interesting dimensions with the introduction of collage. Painting, drawing and collaging layer over layer, new images emerge from beneath. These images are captured and manipulated, then often forced to recede yet again beneath a new layer of paint, drawing and collage until a harmonious balance has been achieved between figure and ground, between image and content. Hugh sometimes chooses to incorporate representational elements into his work – people, animals, nature - which embody a personal homage to significant thoughts, dreams, places and points in time.
According to Elvi Bjorkquist, abstract art creates “an expressive symbol” that is grasped in an act of
“intuition” that has a “single and unmysterious meaning. Her artwork is non-discursive, and denotes not facts but expresses the forms of feeling and forms of meaning that are not able to be objectified in discursive terms and are not “sayable.” She invites the viewer into a constructed fictional space that encourages them to interact with the composition in a way that is unique to them.
Elvi's works are symbols and a study of feeling. This offers her the ability to place multiple
layers of transparent colors giving her a greater range of interesting colors and results in a
greater depth to the piece. She uses suggestive and expressive marks in a more thoughtful
and conscious ways to allude to aspects of the natural environment and a connection to the
earth. She creates layers of colors and marks, using intuition to guide her deeper into a
presentation of her feelings until the visual elements command attention. This show captures
the emotion of the moment of creation and offers, through an open personal gaze, a free
interpretation of the stories behind the works and invites the viewer into the emotional
subconscious of the artists.
