NicoleHarpEnergy Deficit
We are experiencing a global crisis. The issue of climate change is everyone’s problem, and will take a joint effort by all nations to solve, but the U.S.A. must lead the way. In each step we take on this earth we are part of the solution.
I am demonstrating the impact of industry on the environment. The sustainable elements of the sun, wind, earth and water become the vortex of the images. Using mediums such as oil and coal to recreate oil slicks and coal dust, I am expressing the reality, not just the aesthetic. In particular I am focusing on the skeleton-like shapes while juxtaposing the industrial-like text. There is a visual play or push and pull of the blatant destruction by industry between the subtle vibrations of nature.

NicoleHarpThe American way
The notion of the tension of the opposites permeates the bright bold abstractions of painter Nicole C. Harp. In her search for self-awareness., Harp explores a variety of social and political concepts and their opposites, always seeking a much desired equilibrium. A partial black border manifests in most of her paintings, providing the line of stability that we all seek for balance.

NicoleHarpThe 60’s Show
The collages are recycled images from LIFE Magazine from the sixties. That decade demonstrated a height of consumerism and consumption in America. Through recycling images I found parallels that confirmed and demonstrated only incremental growth toward developing preservation and conservation.
The LIFE images are fragments of the past and are reassembled with painterly techniques. The layered narrative meets the demands of conveying a sense of time overlapping. Parallels seem to surface, appear and disappear, expressing a cohesive vision. A pattern of the last 50 years of culture, which has gone global and encompasses art, war and materialism, emerges.

About the Artist
Praise for Nicole Harp imagines herself a messenger, her hands the vehicle in the translation from soul to canvas. The strong, vibrant colors, energetic brush strokes and bits of text, express her need to relate and communicate. She beckons the viewer to join with her in her endeavor to find order and balance in a chaotic world where we feel the constant pull of opposites. -Lorrie
