We are thrilled to present WOMEN: IN THE ABSTRACT. We invite you to immerse yourself in the panoply of color and allow your eyes to eavesdrop. Listen in to the many conversations created by this remarkable group of abstract paintings and the individual voices of this extraordinary group of women painters


ELIZABETH GILFILEN My paintings begin with drawing. Accumulated marks grow and deviate; torqued forms emerge from the decisions I make in paint. Kinetic energy can take over, yet I strive for attention in each mark that is sprung almost as tight as the coils and tendons that create it. Through total emersion in this painting act, I build interlocked layers of knotted forms I feel I can climb or put my arms around. These exist in an unfixed space as every move transforms the work into something else.

Kathy goodell I work looking down into an imagined garden of the mind, the architecture of the psyche. The paintings are entirely improvisational, after the first mark is put down it calls for the next move. A relationship begins! I am interested in opposites, in unlikely alliances. I am not trying to depict anything I already know about; the painting process replicates my internal life of questioning.

nancy lasar Whether in drawing, painting, printmaking, or collage the process for me is about layering and energizing space in such a way that objects are fluid, interconnected and full of energy and movement. In my paintings, color often takes overI burying the initial scaffolding of chaotic lines try to use a variety of lines.

PAULA DeLUCCIA POON — I see making art as a layered process that requires risk, persistence, and the willingness to undo what no longer holds. Entering the studio means pushing the work, revising it, and sometimes destroying it in order to move forward. I’ve learned that expansion — rather than refinement or control — is what keeps the work alive...The work reflects everything I’ve seen and carried with me, translated through material, touch, and time rather than narrative or representation.

Over more than five decades, she has developed a visa language that build together the expansive chromatics of color field painting with the gestural face of Abstract Expressionism.

CLAIRE SEIDL —  In both my painting and photography, I explore the sam formal concerns, creating work in both mediums that draws the viewer into my world, encouraging contemplation and challenging our perception of the often-thin line between reality and abstracted memory. I have no preconceived ideas or plans when I paint and adhere to no set of procedural givens.

GINA WERFEL — My paintings echo the discontinuities and abrupt juxtapositions of our contemporary landscape.I respond to the intersections of nature and architecture like the view fro my studio window, or to reflections glimpsed under water while swimming. Fragments appear in fluid, veiled spaces, layered with glimpses of my environment that suggests fragments of memory.
