Adagio uses textures and shapes of nature to explore Synaesthesia - a condition that causes sensory crossover, such as tasting colours or seeing sounds. Having grown up equally involved in art and music, I have always found the concept of Synaesthesia incredibly fascinating (and a little enviable). What would they hear if they looked at my work? It feels fitting to use nature as the subject when exploring the crossroad between art and music. Nature is visually rhythmic – across the melody line of a mountain ridge and through percussive trees.
Artist Bio: Bravo Domino is an expressionist and abstract artist from Sydney, of Filipino and Irish descent. Having been a hobbyist painter throughout her life, Bravo began painting full time two years ago, after stepping away from a career in music festivals and concert touring. Bravo is strongly influenced by street art, contemporary abstract landscapes, and neo-expressionism. She works primarily with acrylic, pastel and markers, dissecting surface and space with line work and a strong sense of colour. While focusing on landscapes and floral subject matter, her work features nostalgic graphic elements and patchwork-style layers that contribute to a strong, urban visual language. Each piece is a dynamic dichotomy of solid, block colours and heavily textured brush strokes that creates fluctuating moments of elation and serenity. Bravo is also a digital pattern designer for textile and graphic design. Using photographed details of her artworks, her prints are an electric blend of analogue textures and digital distortions. Similarly to her artwork, Bravo’s patterns are a kaleidoscope of hyper-colour geometric shapes with a neon, urban personality.
