Lorraine Tady "Small Abstract Paintings"
The Painting Center
This event has ended.
The exhibition “Lorraine Tady: Small Abstract Paintings” will be in the Painting Center’s Project Room and will present a selection of small scale recent paintings representative of a larger, ongoing body of work. Tady is the 2010 recipient of the Ruth and Harold Chenven Foundation Award, which has generously supported this exhibition.
Tady’s work is a continued exploration of architectural and mechanical abstraction, intuitive and haptic forms built with a painterly sensibility yet linear and drawn. Her imaginary theater contains forms that float, hover, meander, grind, churn, diddle, idle, seek, work or partake in some rhythmic yet structurally asymmetrical activity.
She states:
“In my work mechanical-like systems are subjected to or are
participants in an indirect and formal examination of structure; or a subverted diagrammatic, engineering process. Parts are extracted, analyzed, and re-translated, using both digital and analog tools. I propose questions in the investigation and set up specific games, parameters and rules to respond to in the work’s progression. The language of line propels the work, and I use it to help make visible the parts, and to find the answer to ‘what connects to this, how is this connected to that, etc.’
