Animating the abstract
Animating the abstract
Sydney-based contemporary painter Marnie Ross creates minimalist abstract landscapes in curated, restrained palettes. Rich, warm shades and soft, unsaturated colours are paired together to add dynamism, depth, and drama, and to emphasise the ever-changing world of light and shadow.
Marnie Ross artworks are available for sale at fenton&fenton.
Slow Days in Cadmium Yellow
Light pink, earthy brown, mustard, and orange create an unusual scene open to interpretation. A wooden canvas adds organic texture to the bold, angular shapes, creating gentle ripples and variety in tone.
Pairings from our collections: Urban Atelier Amarelo, Urban Atelier Salmao, Crayon Rosa, and Urban Atelier Cacau.
Slow Days in Lilac Olive
A silvery corner, textured by wood and highlighted in white, hovers against two-toned lilac. At their feet sits a bar of dark, mature olive which balances the purples and adds fabulous contrast.
Pairings from our collections: Urban Atelier Alfazema, Urban Atelier Indigo, Materia Hunter Green, and Urban Silver.
Slow Days in Ultramarine Plum
An intense pairing of electric blue and vivid orange decorate opposing corners of this work. An ultra-dark purple/black and light peach split the colours before they meet whilst a violet strip outlines the shapes, catching the eye.
Pairings from our collections: Urban Atelier Naranja, Urban Atelier Safira, Urban Atelier Beringela, and Urban Atelier Tangerina.
Breathe
Soft pastel pink, orange, and blue create a reimagined scene of a tranquil shore. The calmness of the space is emphasised by the raw linen canvas, whilst the delicate tones of light reach through and relax.
Pairings from our collections: Urban Atelier Papaia, Urban Atelier Marfim, Whoosh Azurita, and Stucco Rosa.
