The ballroom of the eye...

I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to come across the bubbly and refreshing work of Australian artist Kirra Jamison, but I'm so very glad that I did. Her work puts a smile in my heart and a skip in my step so much so that I am about to go out in rainy 4°C Paris weather full of motivation and pizazz.

The young Australian artist, working out of her Melbourne home, produces work that is very feisty and direct in its approach, yet so welcoming and uplifting once you immerse yourself in the colour and the dense world of her paintings. At first glance the approach may seem even a little childlike, perhaps haphazard and random, yet this is so far from the truth. In fact, every stroke, every colour, every thickness and texture of brushstroke is so perfectly balanced on the canvas that is simply allows the eye to be almost instantaneously at ease and attracted into the depth of the work as it dances from form to shape to curve... Below is just a taste of Kirra Jamison's work with pieces from her Cut Out and Love Me Two Times collections.

    You just wanted to say the word 'ljubichici' didn't you, because it has so many consonants ;) I understand, I love the word 'ljubichici' as well ;)
