Ebeth Scott-Sinclair’s work, characterized by surface texture and an interplay of warm, vibrant color, conjures a world of juxtaposition. Her pieces are at once joyful and contemplative, simultaneously bold and shy, humorous and feminist. She presents seemingly genteel images only to reveal their power through clever angles, thoughtful compositions, and lively color choices. Her style is distinct, a synthesis of primitive or visionary art and quasi-cubism, and easily accessible to the viewer. The influence of Klee, Vuillard, Modigliani, Klimt, Feininger and Matisse can be seen in her pieces.
Art is such a powerful communicator for the artist and the viewer. It's an expression of the conscious and unconscious. It inspires dialogue. The process of creating provides an opportunity to take risks, to find our own internal limits and stretch beyond them. In my work, each image reflects the influences of the moment - sunlight or rain, the sound of wind in the trees, a piece of music, a book I am reading, a conversation. I am fascinated by the texture and color emerging on a canvas. These two elements guide me as well as provide physical and emotional support, a reassuring resistance with which to work. It's as if I lean into a painting and experience a different world. My artwork is ultimately about creating a visual voice that transcends language and culture. I experience pure joy when a viewer resonates with the voice in a painting.
