Laura Sharp Wilson "Utah"
McKenzie Fine Art
This event has ended.
Working on a small scale, Laura Sharp Wilson's brightly colored acrylic and graphite paintings are her least figurative and most complex to date. They continue her interest in conveying clarity amidst confusion through the use of dense, overlapping patterning and obsessively precise rendering. Abstracted forms, which reflect the artist's interest in ornamentation and excessive decoration, are layered on grounds of colored, back-painted, or masked fields of fibrous or printed paper mounted on wood, imparting both visual and surface texture to the work. Throughout, Wilson has retained the coils, ropes, and vines that encircle, bind, interconnect, dangle from, and at times, nearly strangle her forms.
