The oil paintings of Massachusetts artist, Michele Poirier Mozzone, celebrate the universal experiences, memories, and sensations of being in the water and invite you to respond in your own unique way. The contemporary figurative paintings in her Fractured Light series explore the transformative effect of water and sunlight on the human form.
Within the works that make up Fractured Light, water is representative of life and change. Bubbles are placeholders for the ideas and intentions that rise from individuals to the open air. The viewer is invited to place themselves within the context of these works to experience broken ribbons of sunlight, fascinating distortions, sounds of rushing bubbles, and the weightless, slow dance of movement which all occur below the water’s surface within this fluid, transformative environment.
This body of work allows me to paint what I love – the figure, while exploring areas of pure abstraction that exist naturally in turbulent, sun-drenched water. I find this unique atmosphere extraordinary.
