The series entitled „Sequence“ is referring to the process of creating a painting. Especially working with transparent and water-based colors aims to show the multilayered nature of MadC’s canvases. This requires that one layer of paint needs to dry before the next one will be applied.
„ The pink looks either really feminine or really powerful. “
MAD C, 2019.
MadC is know for her abstractions and deconstruction of the lettering. Lately the artist began to accentuate her roots in graffiti by utilizing drips, splashes and flares. Instead of using graffiti writing in its formal and functional way, she developed an artistic practice based on capturing the energy and expression of it. The paintings demonstrates the artist’s delicate usage colors. Combining different colors has various impact on the audience. Sometimes it can be soft and feminine and other times bold and powerful. It could be compared with MadC’s artistic practice: she mixes the strong and bold graffiti attitude with intuitive, gentle and feminine touch. MadC’s paintings are painted intuitively and thus express spontaneity and vitality. Each canvas has its own mood and character – and thus it allows a completely individual emotional experience to the spectator. This phenomena is called ‚synesthetic perception‘ of colors and emotions.
MadC finds her inspiration while traveling, in conversations and even in reading books. But also collaborations with other artists open up her the mind for new approaches. Her latest mural she created for Jersey City Mural Arts Program was in June 2019. Once again she strikes with fresh colors and the incredible size of 55m/180 feet/18 floors.
