Artist Statements Menthe Wells
in depth artist’s statement: Painting Menthe Wells
Menthe Wells in depth artist’s statement: Sculpture
My paintings are always characterized by an expressive force and underlying perception of movement in nature. As a visual artist, I have been drawn to portray movement found in landscape both rhythmically and conceptually. The evident variables in the movement of line and images combine with color fluidity in the process of my self-discovery.
Expressive assemblies of action lines, sometimes as natural synaesthetic reaction combining neuropsychological and psychophysical phenomena can also be seen as sitting lines, or as spatial formless areas. These components are consciously selected. The thematic creative communication uses visual investigation in variances of calligraphic lines. Some lines integrate conceptually and others characteristically become “infinite lines” extending beyond the surface of the painting. Oil, acrylic, and enamel-fired painted metals are some of the materials utilized for expression. The materials and techniques used in the paintings are connected to an expressive inner need to transform concrete compositional balance and the effects of light using the concept of movement in nature.
The personal metaphor comes from sight-sound reaction as a natural (synaesthethic) phenomena. Inside swirling twists of space, color both embraces and reflects the variance of eco-based environmental themes. Landscape concepts thematically portray images of the forces of nature within a broad range conveying ephemeral lightness of mood or feeling as a key variant. Visual light influences and contributes to the assemblies of visual metaphors. Conscious decisions influence the assembly of the techniques used. The paintings directly involve energy, and movement as a personal language. Painting and color expression comes from training directly derivative from Albers and Hoffman. The work comes out of the expressive energy derivative of Abstract Expressionism with synaesthesia/synaesthetic metaphors,and is marked with some nouveau Pointillist influences.
The welded steel, which I currently use in sculpture, is utilized to assemble both a calligraphic system of dynamic tensions in one 3-dimensional framework and a geometric tension in an alternative 3-dimensional framework. The energy in line drawing using steel in sculpture to build assemblies portrays sound. The sound is the synaesthetic reaction, which emerges and recedes visibly within shifting planes.
The techniques are selected to show experiential 3 -dimensional images. They are additionally derived from rigid geometric forms and contrast areas of metallic line with hardness. The body of work in 5-7 foot tall sculptures becomes calligraphic drawings in steel. In lines. The individual sculptures portray music, sound, acceleration in line, and form. In contrast, a second body of work in welded metal sculpture, which is less than 11 pounds and smaller in stature, and also large to the size of over 100 pounds shows geometric static forces united in space through contiguous visual relationships.
The recent sculpture derives from the earlier whimsical large soft sculpture, which I used decades ago for Happenings and Events Hartford Courant Life Style two page spresad– “soft sculpturist extraordinaire.” As a new extended linear form synergistically related to my painting, the work includes action lines of welded steel as calligraphic drawing in metal. The linear action and strength is reminiscent of David Smith’s early works. The current approach is based upon synaesthetics using action/experiential, minimalistic, yet symbolic, metaphorical forms. Contributory understandings grew from doctoral study in synaesthesia for my PhD. Sculptural expression is influenced by connections to personal experience with Lipchitz and Rauschenberg, and whimsical contributions derived from Lichtenstein and Klee. The form shows visual tension and linear action using simple elements.
