Nympheas Rouge, Reflections of Spring
Kathleen Marie Ryan
Art has the ability to lift the viewer beyond the physical world, offering a glimpse into the infinite, inviting contemplation, stillness and introspection. A place to reflect. A retreat from the rush of the outside world.
About the Artist
Kathleen Marie Ryan’s paintings provide a soothing respite, a visual escape from a cluttered world. She feels that art should be an abstract, perfect, immutable concept that transcends time and space which remind human soul of their mystery. This installation was created to take us to a place that our own eyes seem to recall. A place where we enjoyed solitude which required no statement, no explanations. A journey to provide a way of viewing the objective world through a subjective lens. A lens which does not climb down into alienation or oppression seemingly imposed by a complicated society, a toil that may also eschew beauty. Kathleen seeks what the great artists down through the millennia have sought……a picture, a poem, a symphony, a garden, or a space that can elevate us above the temporal to remind us of the beauty that is within each one of us.
