About Orla Kane

 
 
  • Biography
    My work relies on the sentimental and poetic values of the landscapes. My paintings are experiential based on lived and imagined encounters within the environment. Bodies of land and water escape the boundaries of the field and are suspended through soft ambiguous forms. These sentiments are expanded like metaphors through paint and gently collide on raw and prepared surfaces.

    I see the act of painting as a vessel. Both for material encounters as well as holding opportunities for reflection, longing and contemplating the self in an environment whether it be submerged in a warm bath or alone in a vast field. These moments allow dreamy escapist philosophies to seep into her work and build a narrative around rural communities.
