ArtTour International Magazine Fall Issue 2017 Artists For A Green Planet

Inspired by her love for nature, Canadian artist Rosemarie Armstrong creates work that reflects the constant transformation of the natural world. Armstrong makes informed use of colors and swiftly layers them in her paintings playing with different techniques of motion, shadow, and light to capture the natural atmospheric changes in her landscapes. Elements of earth, water and atmosphere have laid the foundation stone in her works. In her paintings, Armstrong aims to present a rendition of worldly emotions to experience solitude, anger, peace, and enlightenment. She describes how both peace and chaos are coexisting in the world, emphasizing that in the context of development, man is clashing with the laws of nature.

Excerpt/Quote from back cover: "Ethical Encounters engages with both physical and narrative spaces which are not permanently fixed in landscape or geography, or in human perceptions of place, arguing that the most radical expressions of alterity in Wiebe's writings emerge in encounters with the spaces of the Canadian North."
