Arlene Baker "Altered Spaces"
Noho Gallery / M55
This event has ended.
Whereas the color field artist Morris Louis veiled his canvases with poured layers of paint, in her Silkspaces series Arlene literally veils her surfaces with layers of diaphanous silk, playing with surface and space. The “Silk Spaces” series evolved from earlier work in which Arlene explored subtle interplays of colors, horizons, and space, first in the context of extremely large free-hanging paintings and later in qouache on paper mixing silver into the paint creating a veiled effect. In the “Silk Spaces” series Arlene restricts herself to a uniform 8” x 20” size and shape. The paintings are built out of painted paper surfaces glued to foam core board veiled with layered silk.
