Jackie Earlly Art

Recent exhibition

July 2011

I am interested in colour and use it to create my own formless voids or worlds in an attempt to describe what is missing or lost in my life. I explore how categorisation, classification and repression have lead to artwork without the requirement for language, line drawing and shape forming.

I work on a spatial scale, gaseous voids, collisions and chain reactions to represent bodily senses and emotions. In exploring my human condition I use food colour, fluorescent paint and watery repelling and coagulating reactions emulating human interactions or moods. This approaches the tradition of painting and abstraction by not using the brush stroke as a signature and tries to remove any evidence of the artist’s hand.

July 2011 Exhibition

Jackie Earlly’s works begin from mdf board and food colouring and end up as voids or worlds, descriptive with action and fluorescent colours. Her interest is in painterly reactions. Using board like paper Jackie drips and sprays her materials with expressive gestures of eyedropper and spray can paint. The works are reactions to European learning systems, where the masculine requirement for language, lines and shape forming prevails. Growing up in what she found to be repressive, categorical and classificatory she examines the feminine, fluid, non linguistic, and abstract.
