VERON ENNIS
Veron Ennis has a respect for her paint that carries equal weight to her plans for it. There appears, in her work, to be a dialogue between artist and medium throughout the painting process in which each has a say. The colors may impose their will over the artists emotional decisions, and the artist may leap-frog that will and in turn inspire her pigmented partner to guide them, in tandem, elsewhere still.
But it’s the initial respect that gives her work that joyous edge one finds in any dynamic partnership. The rewards of which are reaped by the viewer who appreciates the beautiful balance found in cooperative chaos born of symbiotic synergy.
Veron Ennis is a Fort Myers-based modernist painter concerned with the intimate characteristics of the layered painted medium; the language of color; and the interplay between precision and chance application. Founder of the art movement, OPT (Open Positive Transference), Ennis promotes and exhibits art that has the intention to transfer a positive and uplifting feeling, one of hope and balance. “The transference of information during the creative process from artist to painting, and then from painting to viewer, is the reason why art can transcend time and why abstract painting has the ability to communicate. Transferring information through the means of creating a non-objective painting is a graceful way to connect with people and is freeing and enlightening for the artist. Transference is a series of work, continued from the series Chroma Tone, that conveys a gentle and calm message, created through the artist and medium, and open to a relaxed and perceptive interpretation. Communicating through art is no less serious than work of any other nature, in fact, it is essential,” explains Ennis.
Also a founding member of MAMA (Movement of Aleatoric Modern Artists), part of Ennis’ technique depends on the chance application of her medium. “Falling in and out of control of the work energizes the composition and pushes compositional boundaries,” says Ennis
