Artist Statement
Blue Tuohy’s paintings delve into the interplay of colour, form, and emotion, exploring the tension between chaos and calm. Her work draws inspiration from organic shapes and the fluidity of nature, merging abstract forms with vibrant, layered hues. Each piece reflects a moment in time, capturing the unpredictability of human emotion through expressive brushstrokes and intricate textures.
Rooted in a fascination with the subtleties of light and shadow, Tuohy’s art often evokes a sense of movement—inviting the viewer to interpret the shapes and shades in their own way. Her use of colour is both intuitive and bold, creating depth and intrigue that speaks to the complexity of inner experiences. By blending abstract expressionism with elements of the natural world, she invites a dialogue between the internal and external, encouraging reflection and emotional connection.
For Tuohy, painting is a meditative process that allows her to explore personal narratives while embracing spontaneity and freedom. The result is a body of work that is at once dynamic and contemplative, offering viewers a glimpse into her evolving artistic journey.
