Alba Cinquini Gallery

Alba Cinquini is a contemporary Western Australia artist who has been making and exhibiting art for over 30 years and describes her work as decorative abstract expressionism.

Firstly there is colour. I think of these works as decorative abstract expressionism! I use bold colour, texture, pattern and mark-making to form large vibrant artworks, paintings. I prefer working large to enable the expressive paint to resonate against the patterned/repetitive marks. There is a lot of layering and using resists to allow the under painting to show. I use acrylic, oils, shellac and natural Balga resin.
