In rich shades of red, hues of blue, pale
greens, a virtual sea of colours, the painting seem to exist in a vein similar
to both workings of Georgia O'Keeffee and Mark Rothko. Strange as that
comparison may seem given the vast differences between those two painters:
Dahlia's collection many of the painting depict the same abstract shape - half
womb - reminiscent of the womanly sensuality infused in Georgia O'Keeffee's
paintings. Dahlia's abstract painting quality is worthy of Rothko. |
The paint covers the canvas in explosion of colours so
bright they stand as proof that Dahlia has spent much of her life in her native
home Jamaica. Dahlia's collection of 2006 follows various themes, base on the
ocean, sun and earth. She is inspired by her inner life: her brush strokes are
not controlled but instinctual. Her technique may best be described as honest
emotion.
Dahlia graduated both from the New York School of Interior
Design and the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. She currently resides in
Jamaica and the Cayman Islands.
