Laura Lee-Georgescu with 'Crevice.' Each panel 60 x 96'. July 2010
'Crevice #1 and #2' at BWAC. July 2010.
In my abstract work I begin by staining the canvas. This technique evolved from watercolor application and a type of mono-printing with oil paint, which I have used for portraiture paintings and installations. These “stain” paintings both are explorations of aerial landscapes, and color studies evoking a physical sensation.
I want the colors and organic forms to remind the viewer of familiar substances, textures, and elements of landscapes, such as rivers, mist, clouds, smoke, light, cliffs, mountains, the horizon, etc. The shapes and suggestions of color are only approaching on becoming something representational, but at the same time have a material identity of their own, as being physical plastic paint, existing as tangible surfaces on cloth. There is a dimension to each area of color that the viewer perceives as either flat, implying perspectival space, or both, fluctuating between those two visual effects.
