Aisha Bridgman – Desert Karaoke

I make paintings about the human condition, hidden experiences. These works are led by my joy of colour and lean into geometric structures. Line and shape, both playful and emotionally supportive. In Chameleon, the figure is subtle, solitary and still, lying down amidst cool blues. Pain and fatigue camouflaged. What overwhelms, barely perceptible to others. Interior and exterior weave into one another. In contrast, Desert Karaoke explores warming oranges and corals. Whilst experimenting with collaged elements, the semi-circle fell onto the painting, its jauntiness worked straight away. The mood is buoyant, shapes line up, as if to take the mic.
