Miertje’s art has a twofold impact on viewers of her artwork. Firstly because of the large scale and use of vibrant colours, the room is filled with energy and movement. Secondly being drawn into closer inspection the work delights and amazes you with the miniscule detailing of abstract and then almost volcanic eruptions of transparent and intense shards of colours that immerse and mesmerize your eyes and thoughts.
With their grand scale, bold use of colour, and high gloss finish, Miertje Skidmore’s abstracted landscapes depict the power of the elements and their capacity for destruction and regeneration.
“The endless variety of colour and life on our planet often almost goes unnoticed by many, understandably due to our chaotic and busy lives.
Yet when we take the time, whenever possible to relax and maybe look at our surroundings in more detail, it can be surprising the effect it has on us.
This exhibition is my own reminder to appreciate the colour/details and energy produced in our earth whether it’s a small insect, plant, bird, or a breathtaking, monumental, gravity defying mountain or waterfall.
Enjoy.”
