\nCOLLAGE ARTIST<\/p>\n

Galen Cheney\u2019s Collage-Paintings<\/h2>\n

Galen Cheney is always pushing her abstract painting into new areas of exploration. Lately she has taken up shredding her older paintings and assembling the pieces onto blank canvas. She might also use translucent paper dress patterns by pressing them into those cut-up pieces and adhering them with acrylic gel medium. Over the top of all that she paints with oils and ink, and then presses more patterns into the wet paint. The result is a cacophony of collaged colour and pattern; swirling with energy, dense in layers, with optical illusions of calligraphic letters that resemble Chinese ink writing. In Kolaj #16<\/a>, Dian Parker profiles this artist.<\/p>\n

\"China-9-by-galen-cheney\"<\/p>\n

Collaging like this is a rich, call and response process. I really love this way of working; there is so much freedom. When I am painting with oils, there is a dance that I do that involves impulse and analysis, speed and slowness, gut and head, in a back and forth rhythm. With collage, the analytical part happens in making the final compositional decisions, though even then it isn\u2019t necessarily final, as rich things can happen when I pull off adhered paper.<\/h2>\n
