The Definition of the Rhythm

Along with balance, proportion, emphasis, variety, movement, and harmony, rhythm is one of the main principles of art. Often referred to as principles of organization or design principles, they help to organize the basic elements of art, which include, lineshapeformvaluecolourspace, and texture[2]. Rhythm refers to the movement or the visual flow within a certain piece. It is sometimes also referred to as a tempo or a beat created that invites the eye to enter into the journey of the artist’s soul displayed on the canvas, or to help the eye travel and reach its point of focus. Like in music, the rhythm in the art can vary in its speed. There are certain compositions that seem more static, more calm, and more relaxed, producing the feeling of peace, order, and structure, while on the other hand, certain works produce a sense of chaos, disorder, and loss of balance, that most of us would link to the inner expressions of the artists’ soul.

Perception
The ability to see, hear or become aware of something
 through the senses.
 How we respond to our understanding, is an interpretation, 
mental artistic impression.
 An artist of rare perception.

Print Work in Process for the Richmond Hill Studio Tour 15th Anniversary by Sue Foerster

Print Work in Process for the Richmond Hill Studio Tour 15th Anniversary by Sue Foerster




Pulling monoprints from plexiglass using gesture drawing as the underlying structure for inspiration. Experimenting with a new approach, a new direction, a detour to work out new ideas while embracing my passion for the human figure.

Achieving an effect, layer by layer, and colour by colour with acrylic and gel medium painted on plexiglass and pressed on to watercolour paper with a brayer and human hands.
This is a dry paper method and an exploration of transparency beyond monoprinting created with many pulls, requiring registration marks for accurate placement.
The goal is to create a 3 dimensional print allowing the beauty of the paper to do it's thing.
Boldness and gusto is payment enough for growth.
An artist is not a finished product that stays the same.



Final printed versions will be on display and available for purchase at The Mill Pond Gallery, 314 Mill St., Oct 13, Friday 6-10pm. Art bus,Oct 14, Sat 10am to 5pm. and Oct 15, Sun 10am to 5pm.
