Jaimee Atkinson



My work explores the paradoxes of abstraction and narrative painting;
personal experience is translated from memory into a visual language using
abstracted form, line, and color. I use abstract forms as symbolism to stand in for figures or objects in a way that relives that moment and feeling for me. The figures emerge to act in the space, suggesting a narrative. Titles allude to the content of the paintings. This body of work includes significant moments: death passing’s, personal relationships, bizarre situations, and incidents.
