Brisbane/Meanjin based artist, Gina Ward, is known for her structured compositions that intertwine bold tones with hidden emotional depth. While flirting between architectural and figurative subjects, her paintings are infused with refreshingly clean contrasting abstract lines that are harmonised with a dynamic tonal palette.
Gina's art explores the interconnectedness and multi-dimensionality of our rapidly changing world by deconstructing familiar forms into fundamental geometric elements. Her signature sharp defining edges evoke additional depth and dimension through the subtle mismatching of her geometric compositions questioning perception.
The sense of structure and form within her pieces can be linked to her need and want for structure in her own life through her lived experiences with anxiety.

The feeling that I have been here before, through each short sharp breath, knelt on the floor through extrapolation and playing every possible scenario through my mind; good or bad. My body is weightless and my mind numb.
‘Nostalgia’ harmonises the crests and troughs through the blend of soft curves and sharp angles. The contrasting pastels and bold earthy tones within the piece act as a visual representation of a bittersweet Wednesday morning battling an unexpected anxiety attack.
