Meet Angie A.
Angie Arsenault is a freelance artist living and working out of her home studio in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
As a singer-songwriter, music producer, actor, and visual artist, Angie is aware of the possibilities of art influencing art. Using mainly acrylics on canvas, her earlier pieces focused on impressionistic landscapes, inspired by the beauty of Prince Edward Island, evolving into abstract expressionism, adding the use of oil pastels, raw pigments, gold leaf, aged paper, red dirt, and sand and a good amount of exploration. Often with a dancing effect, or a plunge into the world of the unknown, Angie’s influences include not only her favorite painters from past and present, but also the beauty of nature, music, contemporary dance, human emotion, and the possibility of alternate dimensions.
“Abstract art opens up an inner world, where self discovery is the main exploration, based on both real and surreal elements or memories. When what you are painting does not fully exist, you have somehow gone within to find it.” - Angie A.
ANGIE ARSENAULT is a singer-songwriter from Prince Edward Island, Canada, who recently got back into painting after a rather long hiatus, looking for a new medium for self expression. Using mainly acrylics on canvas, her earlier pieces focused on impressionistic landscapes, inspired by the beauty of Prince Edward Island, but Angie’s ongoing experimentations have led her to explore her creativity through abstract art as of late. If you gaze long enough into her work, you may start to see a certain musical influence.
Artist Statement
As a singer-songwriter, music producer, and visual artist, I am interested in the juxtaposition of art influencing art, exploring how visual abstract paintings may influence the creation of new original music, and how that work may in turn, be transformed into digital art and become a dancing reaction to the music it has inspired.
Using mainly acrylics on canvas, my earlier pieces focused on impressionistic landscapes, inspired by the beauty of Prince Edward Island, evolving into abstract expressionism and experimentations, adding the use of oil pastels, raw pigments, gold leaf and aged paper, red dirt, and sand. Often with a dancing effect, or a plunge into the spiritual world of the unknown, my influences are not only the likes of Monet, Van Gogh and Hilma AF Klint, but also music, contemporary dance, human emotion, and the possibility of alternate dimensions.
