Gina Sarro
painting skies, mountains, water and fields evoking both flatness and depth.
Inspiration from homes in Saskatchewan, where she was born, and the Alberta foothills, where
she completed an Economics degree at the University of Calgary and studied painting at Alberta College of Art and Design, strongly influence her work.
Gina attended the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in Vancouver, where she currently resides. Her paintings are held in private and corporate collections in Canada, the US and Australia. A donated 13` triptych graces the Jim Pattison corridor at Vancouver General Hospital.
Using both a brush and knife, partly to diminish, and partly to layer the paint itself, Gina balances strong compositional horizontals with rhythmic vertical gestures. Abstracted marks of color come together to create a serene, reminiscent composition which may be suddenly interrupted by defined saturated lines of color cutting vertically through it. This unexpected bisection of the landscape entices the viewer to look a little closer, searching to understand their meaning and what Gina is trying to say with her paint; a moment of pause and reflection.
`In my most recent work, I paint vast, serene landscapes focussing on simplicity and calm, while simultaneously searching for how to document our shared life experiences with my paint. My intention is to offer an abstracted landscape sanctuary where we can go to breathe and be still during these complicated times; a reprieve from the overwhelming world events and constant news about them. Through a distinct technique, skies, mountains, lakes and fields evoke both flatness and depth. I use both a brush and knife, partly to diminish, and partly to layer the paint itself, balancing strong compositional horizontals with rhythmic vertical gestures.`
