Lisa Tureson “Formations: Reflection & Response”
Pleiades Gallery
This event has ended.
Artists statement:
My work is driven by an aesthetic response to place, a technical response to the process of painting. Complex and highly intuitive, my work is both analytical and atmospheric. layers of varying paint media combine to create abstract forms which suggest, yet deny, traditional interpretation or narrative. In this sense my work can be seen as both a technical investigation into the process of painting and a mode of decorative escapism. These unique qualities allow the viewer to use my work as both a didactic and decorative instrument.
The Formations Collection is my version of a modern and abstract fresco. These plaster surfaces are layered with paints and pigments into thin wet layer upon layer of plaster, sculpted with water and wax. The buildup of translucent surfaces under the polished wax creates a multidimensional image with a glass-like shine.
