Abstract artworks typically rely on conveying the imagination of the artist and an impressionist work shows a unique perspective on objects or ideas. Combining the two has opened new doors of exploration and connection with new materials, people, ideas, and emotions.
Brushstrokes have taken on a new meaning as brushes consist of a number of everyday objects used to achieve new patterns and textures. Layers of color, light, darkness are combined and removed to build and reveal a story. This piece, Source of Love was created for the Treasured Vessels Foundation and their Meet the Artist fundraiser. Experiencing emotion is a complicated venture especially for one who is most comfortable empathizing through others. Works created recently explore and lean into the feelings of discomfort that we as a society aim to eliminate. It brings to mind questions of comfort, comfort zones, and confronting those norms. Anger for example is one emotion many try to suppress rather than dig into. The different messages around anger discourage it in general for some and do not address it at all for others. It nonetheless exists in abundance and much of it is understandable. Anger can be a source of great energy when observed, identified, accepted, understood and released in healthy expression. Krystal Skinner is a female abstract expressionist artist exploring emotion, discomfort, and society through her work. Observing self and the urge to pour out energy has helped to identify the path of this abstract painter. The confidence in the vision of the path leading toward understanding is astounding, so she follows in faith that insight comes. This insight is meant to be shared; through the revelations that come with the impressions left on empty canvas. She is connecting to that inner anger and channeling it through Meet The Artist and Treasured Vessels Foundation to raise funds devoted to providing a long-term safe place for healing and growth to individuals impacted by trauma from exploitation in sex trafficking. “Children Can Be Sexually Exploited In Different Ways: Prostitution, Pornography, And/or Erotic Entertainment.
