Priscilla Heine’s paintings are daring and emotionally intuitive yet playful and buoyant. The artist bends the corners of space with vibrant pigments and tumultuous brushwork defining the world of memories and shifting dimensions. The power of the whole becomes apparent in the same way that the melody of a single flower embodies the fulsome magic of a botanical orchestra.
“The investigative qualities of making art are what keeps me coming back. Art, for me, is born of connectivity and reference. My language is created through dialogue with perception as a tool, a physical and intuitive conversation, in which I find freedom and direction.
The world is devastating in its beauty and suffering. There is no perfection; only the messiness of life, and it’s eternal beauty, frail, and homely. As such, I strive to create objects that are homely and beautiful in their very flaws, with the driving force being the pulse of life’s underlying rhythms.”
- Priscilla Heine
