(Drivebycuriosity) - Contemporary art is full of discoveries. On a walk on East Broadway in Manhattan`s East Village I past Shrine, an art gallery which was unknown to me. They exhibit works by 2 artists. This post is about Loren Erich`s spooky ghost-like paintings. The show is called: "In a certain light" ( shrine)
On top of this post you can see “Dirt” (2022, water, raw pigment, dye, acrylic, bleach and colored pencil on muslin, 56 x 52 in)
The press release explains: "The Water is the primary vehicle and collaborator in Loren Erdrich’s paintings. Her atmospheric works are created using thin muslin that is fully drenched with water before various dyes and raw pigments are added to conjure her images. Erdrich helps define and direct her scenes, but she is also at the mercy of the fluid binder that infuses her works with life and form".
The press release continues: "Often working on both sides of the muslin before stretching it, Erdrich’s washes penetrate the fabric resulting in unexpected patterns and markings, and reverse-bleed images that further heighten the dreamy aspect of her paintings.
