Carmela Kolman "Roses"
The Painting Center
This event has ended.
Roses are an ancient cross-cultural symbol of love and beauty. Carmela Kolman developed a fondness for roses because her husband planted many rose bushes at their Port Jefferson home, where her studio is located. She states: "After painting fruit, I am now drawn to flowers, specifically roses. Roses interest me because they are multi-layered, have many intersecting planes, are delicate and colorful, opaque and translucent. I carve out the shapes, and try to catch the flickering light on the petals. Each rose has intricate depth and many abstract shapes. I enjoy integrating the compositions with the depth of the petals, their abstract shapes, and the flatness of the picture plane.”
