Artists Ingrid Cottenden and Gabriela Warlet work on their paintings in the season opener of Art Battle. - Katy JeanSomething incredible happened before my eyes this weekend. Twelve people made their innermost thoughts appear right in front of me.That’s all the time they had to put what was in their heads on a white gessoed surface using brushes and paint.
As the clock ticked closer to 20 minutes, I became surrounded by the consciousness of complete strangers in physical form. Their technique of not just filling a space with colour but caring about which colour it was, its timing and its place struck me. I felt like I knew Cottenden just by watching the work.
The painters were stationary. The arms moved, eyes blinking, calculating distance and space. Their faces hardly reflecting what was happening around them. Taqwa Mahmood's acrylic sunset on a dark streetscape won the opening round of Art Battle at the Marquee Club in Halifax. - Katy Jean
