Fiona Scheibl

Fiona is interested in the discourse of painting and the language of figurative painting in particular. Situated within this discourse Fiona is concerned with the aesthetic quality of paint, mark making and the materiality of paint on the surface of the canvas rather than representation. Fiona is preoccupied with the ‘muddy moods of paint’, its ‘brilliant transformations’ and her own ‘unexpected discoveries’. Fiona is fascinated by the fact that paint can both mask and convey feelings, moods and meaning about a given subjects. Fiona views the act of painting as a ‘transformative’ action, – a kind of alchemy in which anything is possible.
