Ekeblad, Madeleine
Madeline Ekeblad is a Brisbane artist and founder of OMSA - Onward Motivational School of Art. She is an energetic artist and teacher. Defying her status as an emerging artist, her work is proving very popular at the gallery. Her "freeform" style of painting is vibrant and energetic reflecting her personality, while underpinning solid techniques.
Artist Statement
‘My world of art is messy, chaotic and all consuming. Music and Dance are my greatest loves and this is portrayed in my energetic style of ‘freeform’ painting.
The process is to make art that appears at first glance to be uncomplicated but through the deliberation of taking things away, the viewer is invited to discover the form. Painting is like meditation – it can take you to a place of peace and quiet, and when you paint the world stops’.
Rhythm and Movement
The passion and dedication of the dancer is a beautiful art to watch
the slow mesmerising moves
through to the energy spent in lifts and jumps
will literally catch your breath.
Whilst listening to Music
your heart will sing with the crescendo
and your body will move in rhythm
to centuries of notes and tones.
