Deconstructed shape and reconstructed colour are the elements that define Ballard’s unique painting style called Fragmatism®. In this new series of art works, colour takes a trip to the coast. Beauty is camouflaged. Aquatic hues and colour harmonies are the foundations for this body of work. Celebrating the vibrancy of life on the harbour and carefree seaside days, these dreamscapes fragment perspectives. Definitions of land and sea are stretched and tilt beyond an unstable surface.
After a year when all our expectations demanded a little latitude, Kristine Ballard retreated to the waters edge for consolation and inspiration. Ballard presents her painterly interpretations of aquatic escape. In a world where the pieces don’t quite fit anymore, Fragmatism® provides a space to lose yourself and expand your horizons.
