Artist Statement – Norm Shearing
I’ve been painting on and off for about twenty years, driven by a fascination with the human condition—how we move through the world, how we relate to one another, and what we choose to reveal or hide. Recently, I’ve been exploring dance as a way to examine these themes: connection, performance, and the desire to be seen.
This new series focuses on five types of dance, with figures shown both solo and sharing space. This contrast creates a kind of tension—sometimes playful, sometimes intense—between the dancers. I use a bright color palette to capture the energy and emotion of the moment.
Some of the pieces are small collages that break motion down, almost like watching someone move under a strobe light—fragmented, fast, a bit chaotic. Others use big, flowing lines to echo the rhythm and grace of the dancers.
For me, it’s about capturing the feeling of motion and the stories that can come from just a gesture or a shared moment on the canvas.
