NYAB Event - Lisa Abbott-Canfield “Inside White”

Lisa Abbott-Canfield “Inside White”

Jason Rulnick Gallery

This event has ended.

Jason Rulnick presents “Inside White”, a second solo exhibition by Lisa Abbott-Canfield. The paintings featured in this show were created from improvisational linear gestures the artist then rethinks and resolves until forms are complete. While looking at Abbott-Canfield’s work, the viewer is presented with a finished object that retains subtle traces of its under-painting process. The final stage of the painting’s journey appears luminous and boundless as the shapes depicted extend beyond the plane and invoke their ambiance on the light that surrounds.

Lisa Abbott-Canfield studied at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College in 1999. She has been associated recently with the New York Studio School and The Painting Center in New York City. Abbott-Canfield’s work has
been featured with Jason Rulnick in the group exhibition “Abstract in Appearance” (Jan. 2008)
and a solo exhibition of new work in May 2008. Lisa Abbott-Canfield lives and works in New
York City where she is a member of the Westbeth Artists Community.
