Royse Contemporary is thrilled to present the much
anticipated
solo
exhibition
‘Soul
Artifacts’ from Casey Wakefield. This exhibition showcases Wakefield’s latest collection of mixed media abstract paintings. The essence of the artist's work and this new collection is to “capture the intangible remnants of emotions, thoughts, and experiences, translating them onto canvas as interconnected and layered planes of expression.
Her work offers a truly contemplative and organic transformation of colors, drips, and marks captured in abstract form on canvas, that
elicits
and
creates
an
emotional
connection for someone.
Wakefield goes on to say, “these artifacts serve as tangible evidence of the complex web of
interactions
and
influences
beyond what meets the eye.”

This allows us to explore and appreciate the intricate
connections
and
depths
of
our
collective experiences.
The artist's evocative use of color engages the viewers senses, creating compositions of color, some predictable and others unpredictable, with layers of acrylic ink, collage, acrylic paint, finished with oil paint.
When asked about her art and creative process she explains, "I find that the joy of painting is to watch the abstract emerge into something that evolves from the process and in the end creates an emotional connection for the viewer."
