Inspired by the organic shapes of plants, this abstract mixed media composition is by Vancouver-based artist Fiona Ackerman. Bright colours in pink, blue, green, orange and yellow contrast with expressive black markings. This is one in a series. Unframed. “Rooted in abstraction, I want to push my work in divergent directions, to surprise myself, and keep the possibilities for my painting wide open. Working in series, I develop a stylistic language specific to the mood or conceptual objectives I'm working on.” Fiona Ackerman Originally from Montreal, Fiona Ackerman studied painting at Concordia University and completed a BFA at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design in 2002.
