This event has ended.

Sarah Lutz is an artist who thoroughly enjoys the visceral pleasures of oil painting. Her lush, colorful surfaces ooze with rich impasto and translucent shimmering glazes. The sensuality of Lutz’s paint handling puts the viewer in a subjective and participatory position by creating a cornucopia of physical and mental sensations. What is seen during this synesthetic experience is a phantasmagoria of squiggles, pile-ups, blobs and drips that suggest a primordial hothouse where all manner of cross-pollinations occur. Lutz has cited sources ranging from Venetian chandeliers to the experience of snorkeling as part of her studio discourse, and one can sense the thrill of discovery as she ventures through these opulent and animated realms.

Lutz revels in the technical extremes of her medium, pushing the qualities of the paint to register as palpable metaphor. As her thoughts turn to underwater caverns the paint literally thins to an aqueous state. Other passages focus on piles of donut shapes, slathered on and encrusted like the excessive confections of an overzealous pastry chef. Her color choices of vibrant reds, fleshy pinks, watery blues and biting greens underscore the buoyant sense of discovery and playfulness found in these works. This exhibition finds Sarah Lutz having a great deal of fun. Her formal inventions are equaled only by her vivid imagination.
