About this artwork
In “Lush”, the artist’s main goal was to allow the paint to decide what happens on the canvas. It was an attempt to free the artist’s mind from her usual way of creating a piece of art, which often involves methodical planning and a pre-conceived vision of the work. The artist, in previous paintings, used watered-down acrylic paint to mix and blend colors in a controlled way. In “Lush”, she wanted to see what happened when she, in a sense, let go.…
After the paint had been applied, and dried, she interpreted the results. Some resulting forms were re-painted and the artist added flat silver paint and lines to juxtapose the painting’s fluid imagery. What emerged was an expressionistic take on flowers and grasses growing in a painterly garden.

« 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.
