Finding balance: an artist’s kinetic journey

Melbourne-based artist Samara Adamson-Pinczewski has been transforming the way we perceive space and movement through her vibrant abstract works for over two decades.

“My abstractions are derived from everyday life and lived experience, in particular navigating architecture and urban space,” Adamson-Pinczewski told The AJN. Her work spans paintings, collages, constructions, sculptures and mobiles.

“My work is about the way I perceive the world. Some people are sensitive viewers and I would describe myself this way.”

The artist’s new show, Flying Colours, represents a significant leap in her practice, introducing kinetic mobiles that literally bring her abstract geometric forms to life.

“Flying Colours is a reference to the 3D printed, hand-painted kinetic mobiles in the exhibition, and the viewer’s experience of abstract geometric forms that float and rotate dynamically in space,” she said.
