Nicky Foreman

Based in Auckland and hailing from Taranaki, painter Nicky Foreman articulates her personal journey through life. Combining literal markers such as signposts and landmarks with symbols and metaphorical imagery, Foreman considers our connection with place and the personal meanings held by certain locations. Her compositions retain a painterly basis yet often incorporate collage and three- dimensional media.

Forman encloses vignettes, moments in time within oval frames. A traditional Maori design hovers above an historical photograph of Taranaki, A tree silhouetted drifts past a cluster of stylized leaves

A visual feast of rich colour, pattern and texture infuse Nicky Foremans paintings. Like an unfamiliar planetary constellation, signs and symbols float effortlessly upon a black grounding. Foremans paintings examine the emotional connection we often hold with locations - the sensation that a particular landscape can evoke. A visual diary of her journey, Foreman gathers imagery, dominant features, cultural associations, impressions, marks and symbols as a response to her environment.

Nicky Foreman Paintings This work came about after a drawing I did last year in the studio of Cezanne in Aix-en- Provence, France. I have been to this studio numerous times over the last 7 years and find it peaceful, a place to have clarity on my own thoughts on painting. I did a rough sketch of the side of the room that is all windows but purposefully did not take any photographs. I did not wish to only render what I saw. For me the work tries to capture by looking out the window the feeling I have when standing in the room- the quiet energy of the space. The painting is a hommage to Cezanne.
