Geometry, proportion, and contour are the heart of Gina's Colville-esque designs. Her interpretations of female faces, fabrics and sparse landscapes reveal her love of sinuous lines, soft colour, and clean outline. Enter a world where figures are unburdened of daily routines, of expectations, even of gravity. This is a world of counterintuition.
Beauty is disconcerting.
Balance is found when objects suspend in harmony.
Negative space evokes tension.
With a love of light and space, but also with careful use of precise lines and tonal values, Gina's work embodies a sense of calm, serenity, but also poetic loneliness and mystery.
Gina holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto specializing in Art History. Her love of visual art led her to her current career of jewellery design and her independent pursuit of oil painting.
Her works have been shown at the Ottawa Art Gallery, in a group show at Constitution Square, at the Arbor Art Gallery, Kanata Civic Art Gallery and in the Trillium Studio Tour. Previously Gina's works were available at the Orange Art Gallery. You can now see Gina's works now at The Carleton Place Gallery.
