Artist Statement Tracy Cirves 2016
My work explores the relationships of fiction, expressionism,artifice and authenticity. The figure is often the vehicle for my artist statement. My imagery are images transformed from social media or self photography. My paintings are as planned as they are improvisational. They are results of observations and reflections to my relation ship to images as an expression of self. The paintings are subtle and introverted. The paint invites the viewer into something personal yet simultaneously acts as a filter.
