Geraldine O'Sullivan - Fine Art Paintings from West Cork

COLLAGES AND MIXED MEDIA PAINTINGS

The new collage work features the ordinary and extraordianary, in a mix that Geraldine calls the Pentimento Collection: so called because of the layering of paint and paper in each work, which ages the image and allows the viewer to enjoy the gradual exposing of mementos of memory.

The word pentimento is derived from the Italian pentirsi, which means to repent or change your mind. Pentimento is a change made by the artist during the process of painting.

These changes are usually hidden beneath a subsequent paint layer. In some instances they become visible because the paint layer above has become transparent with time.
