Three acres and liberty (2018)Oil painting by Gina Parr

Borrowing American lawyer, activist and author Bolton Hall’s book title “Three acres and liberty” 1907 and it’s back to the land, self sufficiency message, the Artist uses the title for her painting as a mantra, an idealistic wish for economic freedom for all women.

The Painting, from the Artist’s series “ The great divide “ explores Parr’s experience of being female and therefore stereotyped by society as being feminine, and the conflicts and questions often raised by this, as always with her painting, expressed through abstracted scape and form.

When painting, she is completely immersed in the process, building a reverberating relationship with the canvas, a push and pull of spontaneity and controlled intention. As much is taken away from the painting as is added, with constant building and washing of the canvas, aiming to invoke an atmosphere drawn from the process, the initial emotional trigger and the colour palette employed. She uses palette knife, cloth, brush and sponge to add, remove, scratch, blur and work the paint, often drawing into the paint with charcoal.

The painting is signed on the canvas side and ready to hang.
