Batcules and Abstract Painting
The driving creative force behind Batcules is colour. Shelley Batcules is a painter best known for her distinct abstract technique created with a layered and textural visual alphabet comprised of patterns of dots, pixels and/or lozenges of colour mixed using the scientific principles of colour theory with the intent to create tapestries of complex psychological colour relationships and vibrations. The patterns and colour relationships can be harmonic and/or disruptive depending on the colour formula and palette, the movement and vibration of the pattern and how the composition forms the subject matter.

The Colour of Human Emotions
The exploration of human emotions using the psychology of colour and the therapeutic effects of colour are other major interests for Batcules. During Batcules’ academic studies she had a keen interest in the painter Wassily Kandinsky and the German philosopher Goethe and their belief that colour had a strong impact on the human mood and emotion. A key goal is to provoke the spectator with a powerful visual sensory experience that will provoke an openminded approach to viewing new pictures and ideas which in turn promotes the power of new exploration, inspires discovery, and endorses people of all ages and from all places to embrace and appreciate new and unusual landscapes that have the potential to expand their horizons beyond that which is recognizable in the conscious concrete world only.

KNOWLEDGE & AN OPEN MIND
Art enhances the ability to explore and experiment, to push the limits, and find new forms of problem solving. The creative process and expression allows anyone who embraces art, a liberating opportunity to release from our perceived reality, look inward, and centre oneself in the contemplative act, which in turn opens the mind to new paths of interpretation.
It is of paramount importance to protect, nurture and expand arts based education and to promote interest in understanding of how critical the arts are in the development of future generations, both physically and psychologically.
Science has proven that in order to maximize human potential the human brain requires the full stimulation and function of both sides of the brain, the left (analytical/intellectual) and the right (creative/intuitive).
Art served and continues to serve as an accessible visual language capable of transcending spoken language and words to offer educational tools for both the literate and illiterate.

Invest in a sketchbook.
Try to draw or doodle everyday to embrace your creative potential, activate the right side of your brain, realize art has no rules.
This is the base root to access your
freedom of expression to feel the victory of vision and liberation that your ideas will bring.

This is the base root to access your
freedom of expression to feel the victory of vision and liberation that your ideas will bring.
Access creative ability and environment to stimulate the fuel of potential. Believe in the creativity you possess naturally. Every person is born with an inherited creativity, born with a right side of the brain, the creative engine. Only environmental programming can stop your creative exploration. Don’t let fear stop you from discovering the most liberating act – ART, and self-realization through creative expression. Many people fear failure. There are no mistakes when you put meaning in your path.
FEAR of experimentation, and natural discovery can become a psychological barrier preventing the personality from realizing their true potential and creative nature. CAPTURE creative free-will and LOOK to liberate the exploration of ART.
ART IS ESSENTIAL
Art is the nutrient nourishing the expansion of grey matter into colour.
Art forms the circle of life, as senses serve up a universal language and form of expression
to manifest the ultimate process and expansion of mind, body and spirit
to explore conscious and subconscious experiences."
Heed history and legends brought by forward thinkers like Aldous Huxley,.
Be open-minded to the “Art of exposure” to alternate, “Alter-realities,”
often considered unconventional, outlandish, and absurd fictional expressions.
In 1943, Aldous Huxley brought us the narrative expressions;
“The Art of Seeing, and the well-known dystopian “Brave New World.”
Current events reveal how Huxley had a 20/20 vision, and fortune-teller foresight that is explosively real, and disturbingly relevant.
Swim in this, then float the idea of balancing a relationship between the CUBE and the SPHERE;
find ways to injection mould the perfect fit for the square peg in the round hole.
ART OPENS THE BANK to the Greatest fortune: Freedom of Expression.
Take the opportunity to open the safety deposit and really
LOOK AT what the BOX is, leap into it,
and then design ways to BREAK FREE of it ...

THE POWER and INFLUENCE OF ART on Humanity is in its role as the ultimate universal language...
ART breaks down the borders and boundaries of spoken language to further open the way for innovate communication and exploration. what is seen simply, or simply seen in only one physical dimension and consciousness, rather thinking in the abstract transcends the flesh to explore the landscape of the mind and soul – to enlighten the self
to multiple dimensions.

SHELLEY BATCULES is a creative spirit, committed to a life-long journey of learning, and sharing, the multi-dimensional creative process, which requires embarking on the internal (psychological) and external (physical) exploration of several facets:
1st: Recognize the phases of revelation, commitment and sacrifice required to live life in the role of an artist.
2nd: Explore how art as a purpose, plays a significant role as a universal language, or form of expression, within contemporary society, on the local level and in the greater World sphere.
3rd: Innovate through experimentation using various mediums of expression such as visual fine art, mixed media, digital and video art.
4th: Look back as you look forward. Learn from the past, from the History of Art, and the history it documents about the development of society.
5th: Embrace every moment in life by seeing each experience as a potential creative opportunity. Consider the idea, “Life is a classroom,” composed with an orchestration of all forms of objective and subjective communication, that when applied builds a “perfect circle” or cycle of learning, that incorporates all forms and facets of the human condition and experience.
6th: Use intuitive instincts to develop an artistic outlook, and open the mind to appreciate the fact that “the only constant in life is change.”
7th: Embrace the right side of the brain, and delve into creative thinking and problem solving by balancing the order and chaos found in each instance, then apply the concept that each adversity is an opportunity to solve through the tenacity to create innovation.
8th Creativity is like Life – it is always in flux.

BABY STAND STRONG. BE BOLD to believe bravely in your inner child. LEAN ON FACTS; learn to be lean and see truth over fiction, with found objects observed through personal observation.
SEE FACTS through the sight of your own eyes.
SET SIGHTS on building up your personal perspective.
BE PROUD to: PROP-UP your point!
POUND-DOWN into the punctuation of your profound nature, nurtured in an underground pipeline of positivity.
PIERCE into pictures of people in your past, who present profound lessons.
PONDER the “FACT/FICTION” we find ourselves living in; a “foundation/folly,” fundamentally fixated on finding the PARADOX – TO CREATE CONFUSION…
Calculated CONCLUSION: an “Ordered Chaos” the children will consume.

ART & EDUCATION
Arts-based education is of paramount importance to protect, nurture, expand, and promote by understanding of how critical the arts are in the development of balanced thinking by using the right and left brain to the full potential. Science shows to maximize human potential the human brain requires the full stimulation and function of both sides of the brain, the left (analytical/intellectual) and the right (creative/intuitive). Access to Art, as a universal visual language capable of transcending spoken language and words offers powerful visual and auditory educational tools for people of all ages.
The Shelley Batcules Studio & Gallery has a physical address in Ontario, Canada. Since 2020, the freedom to share expression in the person-to-person gallery context has been perpetually “locked down,” with no end in sight based on the current political landscape. As a political painter this provides a lot of stimuli for contemporary subject matter.
Challenges from a political or propagandistic perspective will not hinder or stop freedom of expression and the creative process; rather it enhances and enforces the free-will to put forth alternative platforms to present new methods and processes to bring my physical hand painted works to people, and keep the power of art alive. I implement my passion for digital and multimedia art to fine tune ways to share one-of-a-kind hand painted pieces, on-line exhibitions, memes, and contemporary viewpoint social media posts.
As the World “opens or wakes up,” I look forward to exploring custom designed, specialized event opportunities to be posted to my news and events section, and on preferred social media platforms.
Stay tuned into, share the love of art at www.shelleybatcules.com, and visit me on social media sites such as Linkedin, Facebook and Instagram. Enjoy the creative ride, and thank you for supporting art and the creative spirit.
