ARTIST IN RESIDENCE | SKYE LAROCCA Solo Exhibition ‘Interior Landscapes'

Skye LaRocca is a contemporary colour field artist whose solo show titled, "Interior Landscapes" explores our relationship with exterior colour and the effects on our internal emotional landscapes.

“Interior Landscapes” is a full sensory, visual representation of the intricate relationship between the colours we experience daily and the impact on our internal space and emotions.

At first glance, “Interior Landscapes” appears to be all about the surface: large canvases filled with solid, vibrant hues that seem to radiate light and energy. But as one spends more time, exploring these works individually, they evolve into more intricate works and a deeper emotional terrain begins to emerge. The colour fields begin to suggest landscapes of the mind, complex emotional landscapes that we navigate every day. 

 

As we view each painting, we are invited to reflect deeply on our own experiences and emotions, and to consider the complex interplay between our internal world and explore closely the external real world around us. The colours become symbolic of our internal experiences, our thoughts, feelings, and memories, along with external influence of culture through media, design, fashion, and community spaces.

 

As we journey through these interior landscapes, we are reminded of the power of art that we are surrounded by each day in the real world and the ability to connect us to ourselves, our immediate location and to each other. Through its use of colour, style, and subject matter, "Interior Landscapes" offers a powerful meditation on the nature of human emotion and the many ways in which it shapes our lives. It is a vibrant exhibition that reminds us of the richness and complexity of the human experience, and of the power of art to capture that experience in all its many shades and hues.

 

The exhibition's bold use of colour is inspired by a deep appreciation for Anne Truitt’s minimalist sculptures and personal journals, along with Josef Alber’s deep exploration of colour as the most relative medium in art.


Inspired by our external urban landscapes, paint colours that exist in our homes and in our daily navigation in the real world, found in murals, interiors and buildings, along with rich linens and canvas that dress our homes, have been selected to build, embody and present these paintings.
