Wow…
I've always been one who appreciates a high level of craft in art work.
I expected I would see someone arranging pieces of torn paper into an OK abstract arrangement on the canvas, but was unprepared to see a representational landscape!
If that landscape had been painted by brush, it would have been good, but nothing uncommon. But using paper this way is really taking the hard way, and the paper added a very pleasing dimensionality to the piece.
There have always been paper snippers; paper silhouette portraiture was once very popular commercially. But doing pieces of this size is a real rarity, especially representational pieces. The thing that struck me most was how the lady's work had a very painterly quality to it.
A lot of ability and skill here. She transcends both her materials and her subject in her work. The paper isn't paperish- it's more like paint, and an otherwise conventional subject becomes something entirely different and better from her choice of materials. Good stuff!
I tried that once. Mine didn't look nearly as good as hers.
but I tried.
