vrrwfl Orillia artist exploits drama of bold color By STEPHEN HALTER If The Examiner The current show of oil paintings by Ingrid Seyfler at the Barrie Art Club Gallery on Dunlap Street is an intriguing sometimes bixaare look at the percep tion of color the ways it can be manipulated and distorted for dramatic effect in painting The Orillia ar tist uses technique that at first glance seems crude and coarse exposing the shapes and strokes of the painters brush in way that calls at tention to technique In shape and form Miss Seyffers style is realistic the human figures land scapes and still lifes she prints are familiar and recognizable images but the way she uses color sug gests kind of violent im agination Seyffer creates new color schemes that are often bizaarre and strange as though shes looking at the world and seeing colors of another spectrum The heavy blues greens and purples in many of the paintings com bine with the thick textured strokes and daubs of paint to create an effect thats almost repulsive as raw and as coarse as wound In her portraits Seyffer breaks down face and figure into areas of color keeping the forms realistic but substituting her own col ors for natural flesh and skin tones In Nude for example the figure of the women is recognizable but her face is made tip of planes of green the lips are purple and the body is patchwork of color The brush strokes are strong and uncmnpromising and seem to push the viewer aw ay from the painting before drawing him back in again Seytfci technique is like shock ettcct strange colors superimposed on 3iiliar forms that forces wit to see familiar images iii sttiiligtlit ways liric another portrait gtl1trs child staring straight at the viewer with his arms propping up his head Again the form is conventional portrait pose but the colors are something else again the boys body is made up of blties and browns his arms are various colors and his face is blcii ding of oranges purples and golds The painting is dark almost nightmarish Scyffer has transformed boy into strange image of color he becomes an alien figure front another world or the artists imagination not simply the familiar image of young boy This ability to make the familiar seem alien and otherwordly is even more pronounced in Little Boy which shows sleeping child transformed into bizarre pattern of strokes and swabs of color The boys hair is black heavy strokes the face clownlike mask of pinks and greens and purples Instead of the sim ple innocence of sleeping child Seyffer gives tis caricature of color distortion that is frightening in its strangeness and bewildering in its intensity The landscapes and still lifes in the show range from appealing scenes of meadows and fields to very blunt and crude paintings that suggest Group of Seven influence Summer shows three people in field of light and dark greens and heavey white flower blossoms The faces on the people in the paintings are virtually blank and featureless the effect is mysterious but relaxed and tranquil too Rutter tups still life shows vase of yellow tlowcrs The paint has been applied III heavy strokes and the flowers seem to float on the surface of the canvas freed ot stems holding them to the confines of the vase Yellow and Blue pain ting similar to Summer shows two people sitting in tilti tiieir laces are tillttll obscured ind
