Personal Diaries are oil on canvas works by Adrienne Fonda.
“These very large and very small paintings form a visual diary of the painting problems that I have been trying to resolve in the past few months. The text and language in them is part of my thought process as I try to construct the picture plane for the viewer’s eye. Titles like “Oil Spill”, and Velasquez- Massacre of the Innoncents, are attempts that I have made to try to situate myself in an art historical context. It also ties in to what the world subjects me to today. The bright “in your face” coulours are nonetheless my way of offering beauty to the spectateur, for whom I paint.” – Adrienne Fonda
