Abstract Art by Lynne Taetzsch

I can’t quite pin down the appeal of these abstract art paintings by Lynne Taetzsch and I’m not sure she would want me to. “Shape, color and form have meaning in and of themselves. We react emotionally to these elements even if they create no recognizable object for us to hang onto. Thus, a painting of ragged, angular forms in deep reds will evoke an entirely different feeling from one in soft curves of yellow and white.”

Green Here and There by Lynne Taetzsch

Or, as Mel Fenson wrote in Colorado Magazine, “A profusion of colour, free-flowing lines, geometric shapes, directions, non-directions, organized chaos, beauty, emotion, design, confusion, focus and understanding without knowing why- these are some of the impressions one gets when studying the ingenious work of Lynne Taetzsch. Her prismatic, complex style mesmerizes a viewer and challenges one to make sense out of that which is not meant to.”

Lynne Taetzsch, who was recently chosen by TOSCA magazine as “New York’s artist of the year,” is passionately creative.  She writes, “From the time I can remember I was always making some kind of art, from sculpting homemade play dough to holiday decorations and craft projects.”

Lynne took drawing classes and then studied art in university (along with creative writing.) She worked in many styles, but in the ’60s she became enchanted with the abstract expressionists. “I am of course indebted to all the artists who came before me, for the wonderful ways they have transmuted color, line and shape,” Lynne states in her site bio.  “Some of my very special art connections are Miro, Kandinsky, Matisse, DeKooning, Hans Hoffman, Helen Frankenthaler, and Joan Mitchell.”

Visit Lynne at her site, http://www.artbylt.com, or at her blog, where she shows paintings, methodology, inspiration etc daily, along with showcases for a variety of other abstract artists. The blog is something all artists would benefit from visiting- there is a veritable storehouse of useful and fascinating information, and Lynne’s down to earth, introspective style of communicating is inviting. http://www.abstract-art-blog.net

Today she paints full time, using acrylics and painting to loud music. It is this improvisational quality in her work, its movement, its jazz-like cacophany of colour and motion, that I like best.

Cheers,

Lorette
