Daisy Parris
Daisy Parris
Daisy Parris’ oeuvre articulates the form and the idea, as both part of the artistic process. The paintings produced by the artist are multilayered, textured-rich and visually poetic, not only in the materials used, those thick and colorful oil strokes, but in the deepness of the feelings they convey through an effusive color palette and the calligraphy with handwritten hidden poems.
Daisy Parris are a painter of psychological space. Direct text-based works and abstract paintings are made up of a vernacular that has developed through experience, relationships and through the depths and the peaks of their human existence thus far. They bring intimacy, insight and integrity to their paintings with great psychological and emotional force. Their work are imbued with the sensitivity of one who feels everything, taking us through un inching narratives and moments of re ection and tenderness. An ode to human existence, their work are sometimes silent, sometimes savage, with paintings that construct self portraits of personal battles and triumphs in a fast moving yet contemplative assault on the canvas.
