Jade Sibinovski

Jade Sibinovski is a Sydney artist who graduated with honours in painting from the National Art School in 2017.  For Jade, form and colour are inseparable modes of expression in her work. Using a process that references the chance and deliberation of collage, the works comes to life in a rather serendipitous way. The spark created from inadvertent arrangements arising from the assembling, dissecting and overlapping of cut paper shapes and images from disparate sources, acts as a portal into the unconscious. Mining these terrains, she renders abstracted imagined worlds by manipulating and playfully contorting the materials while seeking to discover the unfamiliar and uncanny.

Colour is a vital component at all stages of the process, particularly at the final stage of painting and mixing of oil paints, its vibrancy made more potent by bold shapes that act as the vehicle for expression, bringing a delicate calibration of colour to the fore. Through this the artist uncovers and develops her own personal symbology. Jade’s intention with this body of work is to imply an atmosphere or a memory that invites the viewer into the space for a contemplative experience, activating their own imaginative associations when engaging with the work.
