Debra Drexler “Water Play”

Van Der Plas Gallery

This event has ended.

The Van Der Plas Gallery presents “Water Play”, featuring Debra Drexler’s paintings. New York and Honolulu based Drexler’s large, abstract paintings are fluid, playful, and joyful. Closer examination reveals the work to be intricate and multifaceted. Numerous layers, which contrast areas of depth and flatness, organic and synthetic color, matte and gloss surfaces, create complex spatial interactions. In places, the bare canvas shines through providing stark contrast, while other zones of the painting are encased in over forty layers of paint. The edges of the mark tell the story of excavation, history and time. The luminosity and saturation also mirror the unique quality of light and tropical color interactions in Hawai’i.
