About Untitled 2017

In this abstract composition, Vancouver-based Fiona Ackerman uses a riot of bright colours to explore organic plant shapes amidst lines and graffiti-inspired markings. Imaginatively curated colours—blue, yellow, orange, black and pink pop against a neutral background.

“Rooted in abstraction, I want to push my work in divergent directions, to surprise myself, and keep the possibilities for my painting wide open. Working in series, I develop a stylistic language specific to the mood or conceptual objectives I'm working on.” Fiona Ackerman
