Text from the Article:
Leanne Venier: What Lies Beyond a Painting
Native of Ontario, Canada, Leanne Venier, is an abstract painter who paints driven by her ongoing quest to understand the human psyche in its complicated nature and mysteries. Her paintings are a reflection of her state of mind and her work is a translation of her emotions expressed in vibrant, rich colors that gives her access to express with visual forms and not with words, for words will not do her justice in communicating her emotional status.
The words of the famous psychologist, Carl Jung, who had a great influence on our painter, would describe best the work of Leanne Venier when he said: "Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument."
In the art of painting, the artist seeks to reach out beyond the limitations of space, time and language; he builds a bridge which collides with two worlds: his world and the viewer's world, and that is what the work of Leanne Venier is all about.
Strong, vibrant colors that she has an attraction to is shown in all her paintings, as well as richness in tone and texture. Each painting delivers a message that is behind a concept, a state of being, a communicational channel, that needs no fine-tuning. Anyone can find what they are looking for in her paintings; it is one painting but many interpretations. Each painting is a doorway to her inner self, so gaze in long enough and you are transported there!
