Antigone
Oil Painting & Collage
   


Antigone


English born artist Antigone studied Fine Art and Art History in Europe and the United States holding degrees in Fine Art, Art History and Interior Design. Endowed with a passion for exploring, she has traveled the world translating the experiences through her painting.  Antigone’s oeuvre consists of watercolors, mixed media, fiber art and oils, with oils being her main focus.

Antigone’s tool of choice is the palette knife which allows the paint to speak its own language - create its own magic.  An emotive colorist, Antigone uses vibrant colors full of energy and promise.

Some of her earlier work consisted of landscapes, devoid of human life, reflecting an introspective period. The latest series of paintings,  ‘Greek Odyssey,’ includes some figurative pieces which evolved from the impasto paint, unheralded figures from antiquity reaching across time.
 
The series of collages express a different dimension to her work – painted canvas/mixed media cut and woven blending abstraction with realism – intertwining centuries old cultural traditions of weaving with that of a 21st. century modern interpretational perspective.

Antigone divides her time between her house/studio in Franklin, Kentucky and her small cottage in the Greek islands- where the sea and intense light has inspired much of her work.

Antigone invites the viewer to visually step inside her paintings – to explore sensory memories of color, places and distant lands that beckon.

The artist’s art work is profiled on both sides of the Atlantic in individual and commercial settings.
