Enid Sanford "New Paintings"
M55 Art
This event has ended.
The exhibition consists of paintings and a group of drawings, all created within the last year. They are being exhibited for the first time and this exhibition will be Sanford' first one-person show at M55 Gallery.
The paintings within this exhibition mark an important step forward in Sanford' oeuvre. The influence of scientific theory is present in familiar built-up biomorphic patterns upon which the images are built. Sanford continues to investigate the complexities of space that painting alone is able to conjure, drawing on the tension between organic and in-organic forms. Sanford’s new work speaks not of forms but of forces and intensities, not of the stabilities of the pattern but of dynamic movement—some of the conceptual possibilities available to pictorial space when one pushes paint around and through and ultimately off the pattern.
Sanford's latest work continues to explore new uses for abstraction while incorporating a wide variety of visual influences, from computer-generated graphics, to photography, and to kaleidoscopic formal arrays. The artist's melding of architectonic composition and organic form is reflected the paintings; they are an organization of varying speeds and intensities—a pragmatic practice of the abstract mixing and rearranging of data. Her pictures are an assembly of generations of 'readings' that spring from an initial image, reinterpreted through shifts in color, shape and scale, and through the overlays of multiple webs of paint.
