Waiting for everything and nothing (2019)Oil painting by Gina Parr

“Waiting for everything” and nothing was inspired by Parr hearing a BBC Radio 4 item, whilst she was painting, on the notion that we are always in a state of waiting for something, or maybe nothing...., and this intrigued the Artist, raising the question as to whether her expectations as a woman are such that after putting the necessary work in, one should wait patiently and nicely for maybe something or maybe nothing….

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.
