MEREDITH BINGHAM

Meredith Bingham is a Canadian abstract painter famous for her minimalist design and bold circles. Bingham’s work comes from the intuitive, the irrational and the accidental in the creation of a work of art. The idea of building up and breaking down colour and form until it becomes recognizable and “feels” complete. Once it is finished she believes in letting the art stand on its own as an object of interest in its own right not as a representation of something else. Her abstract works subvert the symbolic perfection of the circle, drawing their dynamism and power not from precision but rather from imperfect renderings. Muted tonalities are punctuated with bursts of bright colours. Subtle lines melt into bold brushstrokes and delicate textures merge with grainy surfaces.
