Bobbi Van: Exploring the Duality Within

Bobbi Van (2009)
China
Mixed media on plexi
30 x 24 inches

“Out beyond wrong doing and right doing there is a field of luminous consciousness. I’ll meet you there.” – Rumi

By painting in reverse on clear plexi surfaces, Bobbi creates a transparency in which to explore duality: what is between movement and stillness, transparent and opaque, sound and silence, thought and action? Bobbi reveals to her viewer an alternative window into her work. Her first strokes stand at the foreground of her paintings; her last caresses remaining mostly hidden behind what came before. This inversion creating the in-between that is a natural source of contrast, conflict, inspiration and harmony for Bobbi.

“My objective is to achieve a space that is intuitively balanced in light, color and motion; one that speaks to our strength, vulnerability, and our awakening within.” – Bobbi Van

Bobbi’s work is unique. The fervency, frequency and size of her strokes reflect her emotions as she paints. Her work has been shown in museum shows and galleries around the country. She is held in numerous collections around the globe.
