Marilyn Clements | Statement

STATEMENT

Abstract painter, Marilyn Clements, employs a diversity of forms and colors to express the experience of inner states of consciousness - that of an expanded, highly energetic field. Into this space geometric forms mix comfortably with biomorphic and organic forms, and the whole space vibrates with the energy of color.

Clements' work is inspired by her deep involvement in Meditation practice as well as her interest in diverse cultures she has experienced in extensive travels. Trips to Bali in 1997 and 2004 led to a series of paintings that draw on the richness of that culture.

"In Bali, I saw how spirituality, ritual, and ceremonial magic are all woven into dance, drama, art and life. With the background of an astonishingly beautiful landscape, I was very moved to record some of these impressions in a visual way. In my work I explore Bali as a state of mind, a place where the archetypes of the human psyche can come to life."

Marilyn Clements work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in New York, New England, Canada and Europe. She is represented in numerous corporate and private collections.
