Oona Ratcliffe’s “I Can Be the River”
gallery nine 5
This event has ended.
A selection of the artist’s new and existing works will be displayed in the front room of the gallery.
Oona Ratcliffe’s broken topographies and shifting patterns capture the frenetic energy of urban life, exploring the addictive energy of big cities. The colorful, geometric abstractions are executed with staggering precision. Alive with color, the works vibrate with a vitality that extends into the surrounding space. The highly sensorial pieces begin as pencil drawings before the artist applies layer after layer of paint pigment, resulting in luminous, smooth symphonies of color. Ratcliffe intuitively deviates from the preparatory sketch, allowing each work to emerge organically.
Born in California, Ratcliffe studied at the École de Louvre before exhibiting widely throughout the United States. Her works are held in private collections in France, Indonesia, Washington, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles and New York.
