About The Artwork

Story: At the Hippo Water Chute, hippos jostled boisterously, each trying to outdo the other in their daily belly flop competition! Hippo Water Chute blends the vibrancy of modern aesthetics with echoes of 20th-century art movements. Painted in acrylic on three shaped bevelled segments of ply, mounted on a lightweight backing board for easy display. Featuring a bold, sweeping blue brushstroke offset against a bright yellow and white background, with hints of green and orange. The composition, divided into 3 interlocking segments, forms a cohesive circular design, symbolizing unity and continuity. The painting pays homage to the pioneers of abstraction, drawing inspiration from the fluid dynamism of Futurism, the bold geometries of Constructivism, and the vibrant color fields of Abstract Expressionism. The interplay of colors and shapes creates a sense of movement and energy, inviting the viewer to explore the depths and nuances of the artwork. How I Come Up with My Titles I approach my paintings much like a set design. Each piece is a stage, meticulously constructed to invite viewers into a unique narrative landscape. The vibrant colors, dynamic forms, and playful compositions are all elements that set the stage for an adventure, a story waiting to be discovered and engaged with by the audience.

Painting from her studio in Auckland, New Zealand Kirsty loves to unleash colour, shape, line, and form to create refreshing, expressive abstract artworks, transporting the viewer to another place, to other memories. Having spent much of her life travelling and living around the world, Kirsty is driven by a sense of curiosity and adventure. This stimulation and a love of art, in particular abstraction, forms the basis of her work, conveying a sense of escapade and joyful escapism. Weaving memories with storylines and explosions of colour, Kirsty’s abstract art is like visual poetry. Instead of words and sentences, she intuitively creates a visual dance of the spirit. Her artwork has been featured in popular high-end magazines including, Home & Interiors - Scotland, Square Space - Singapore, AD Pro, Mexico and Maison et Jardin, France. A finalist in several notable Art Awards, including The Parkin Drawing Prize 2020 and the Molly Morpeth Canaday Award 2017, Kirsty’s work is exhibited widely, she also has a piece with The James Wallace Arts Trust.
