Abstract Art Daily Artsy Paintings

Transient Marks. Jo Davenport

I am always amazed at the way an artist’s mind will interpret a given subject.  I believe artists “see” in certain palettes, even when looking at a thing that is obviously one color, the artist feels it as another.  Such seems to be the way of Australian abstract painter Jo Davenport, whose expressionistic interpretations of landscape, instead of being literal regurgitations of a scene, are spontaneous bursts of color and mark.

As we transition from summer into autumn, these paintings remind me of how utterly changeable and temporal our landscape is.  As branches, grow, then break, soil erodes, flowers seed, and light changes, a given scene will never be exactly the same as it is in one exact moment.

    Very vibrant paintings with lots of energy! It would be interesting to see photos of the landscapes that inspired them!
