About this artwork
In Robin Ballard’s “Elements” series she explores ways to visually interpret chemical elements, and naturally occurring phenomena. In “Floating” the artist began by applying thick lines of white paint to the canvas. Then, using a scraper, she applied various colors of florescent paint, which she then pushed into the crevasses of the white paint, creating a textured surface. The colored shapes seem to move in a horizontal direction over the canvas…
and because of the thin application of paint, they appear to be light, almost weightless. The sides of the painting have been painted, so it has a finished feel. It is also stretched on a frame and is easy to hang.

« My art is associative. It’s how I interpret the world around me. »
Robin Ballard is an exciting Swiss painter who has exhibited her work nationally. In her paintings, she primarily reflects on contemporary issues such as migration, the rise of China and global dependency on crude oil, seeking not to impose any particular stance but rather to provoke thought and introspection. Ballard additionally enjoys the play between abstract and realistic representation, expertly navigating both to compose a body of work that showcases impressive diversity across a range of styles, subjects and forms.
