Teresa Poon
Teresa Poon was born in Brisbane, Queensland in 2002 and lives and works in her hometown. The self-taught artist works primarily with acrylic, ink and graphite. She draws inspiration from her day-to-day experiences and uses her art as a means of exploring the colour and transient details of everyday life. This series of paintings on paint swatches takes the scenes of the world outside and contrasts them with the colour selection process used for interiors.
Artist Statement
“This collection is an expansion on my previous series, British Paints, 2020. This series of paintings on colour swatches takes the scenes of the world outside and contrasts it with the colour selection process used for interiors. Each painting involves careful selection of the details that will be captured in the small-scale work and the colours that will be highlighted in each scene. In doing this, I hope to encourage viewers to take a look at the world around them and notice the colour in the everyday.”
