Artists statement – October 2008 – Paula Lundy

The South West of England has many different styles of architecture which inspires the Local Artist Paula Lundy. Paula is particularly fascinated by the aura of the moon and how the aura illuminates the night and highlights interesting features of English Architecture.

The moon has now become a very prominent focal point in many of Paula’s paintings. Paula has always been intrigued by the folklore surrounding the moon. Ancient civilizations believed the moon to be made of silver and to be associated with dreams and the imagination. It is for this reason that the Artist always uses real silver to create the moons in her pictures. Paula often dreams about the next scene she is going to paint, and as it is now scientifically proven that the moon affects our moods and creativity Paula wonder’s if it too has power to influence our dreams.
Paula loves to work with texture, Combing heavy texture with strong visual metallics and experimenting with an ever expanding array of materials such as: acrylics, lead, silver, plaster, clay, inks, resins, glass, metallic pigments, bitumen, rubber and sand. The colours the Artist uses are the black, white and grey monotones typical of a moonlit scene but with a twist of silver and pewter. Paula continues to use the same impasto style in all of my work.
During her teenage years Paula was intrigued by the occult and esotericism. The esoteric teaching that there is another world behind or underlying our physical world is an idea Paula can relate to while creating her art. Adding layer upon layer and then, in one moment, it all comes together to produce the image that was once in her imagination, now in physical reality.
