McLean reaches beyond realism into a comfort zone of pure design. Voracious intellectual, sensory and social appetites drive her creative spirit. Her abstracts demonstrate the influences of Bacon, Bourgeois, Giaciometti and Miro, among many others. Time spent in Europe, Turkey and most recently, India has enriched her appreciation of design, art, architecture and culture. The current collection (2004 - 2005) reflects her personal minimal style. The focus of texture, colour and line are common features of the other creative aspects of her life: interior design, textiles, garden design, botanical collection and travel photography. Clearly, these oils display a passion for fluid form, solid, chunky texture and concentrations of colour. |
