ARCADIA (2025)

Acrylic on canvas
140 × 155 cm
Framed in black Tasmanian oak

Arcadia reflects on abstraction as a vessel for memory - the persistence of meaning over time.

Abstraction is not about losing meaning, but preserving what remains after memory has softened and shifted.

Through balance, rhythm and an earthy palette, fragments of landscape emerge and dissolve, evoking places that may no longer exist in physical form, yet remain vivid in feeling.

Arcadia invites contemplation of the internal landscapes we inhabit through memory, longing and reverie.

Reflection. Abstraction. The persistence of meaning over time.

The preservation of what remains after memory has softened and shifted.

Painting conceived not as image, but as emotional architecture.

Space as a vessel for reflection.

Presence sustained through restraint.

Artist | Founder of Composed Abstraction™

Joanna Wolthuizen is an Australian artist and founder of Composed Abstraction™, a contemporary painting practice informed by architecture, memory and place.

Her paintings are developed as measured environments where proportion, tonal restraint and rhythm create a quiet architectural presence.

Through Composed Abstraction™, painting is considered not simply as image, but as a vessel for memory - preserving meaning as experience softens and shifts over time.

Fragments of landscape, structure and atmosphere emerge and dissolve, inviting contemplation of the emotional landscapes we continue to inhabit through memory, longing and reverie.

Works are held in private collections across Australia, Europe and Asia.
