Lot I

Cristine Yunyk’s colourful and sensitive abstract works are created for lovers of contemporary painting. Conceding that the painter’s job is an act of both genius and folly, the artist punctuates sincerity with humour, and formalism with provisional imagery. These dichotomies echo the artist’s professional identities– Yunyk began studying conceptual art and figure drawing in her early 30s following a decade of work as a Public Health Nurse, eventually returning to study art on the same campus where she studied nursing. She now enjoys a balance between her career in a helping profession and her active studio practice.
