Vasy Petros is one of our featured artists with a profile on the KAN website.
In her own words:
Lines and Layers… Pieces and Strips
I look at a distant landscape and see lines.
Beginning with the horizon, I build a picture in linear strips above and below this centre line.
Pieces of discarded magazine print merge together and form land, sea and sky.
Coloured strips are ‘blended’ the same way you would with paint. It’s surprising the array of colours found in the pages of magazines.
I either tear or cut using scissors. A torn edge is raw and unpredictable and can resemble the distant crest of a rolling wave or a soft whisp of cloud. A clean cut defines the horizon or a sharp shimmer of highlight where needed.
The transparent quality of thin matt print ‘melts ‘ in to the canvas when pasted down. This together with overlapping, gives depth to a cloudy sky. Alternatively, thick gloss print highlights solid features within a landscape, such as trees and rocks.
