THE STRUCTURE OF WATER
Reception, Saturday, February 7, 2015, 6-9 pm
Exhibit runs January 21 - March 26, 2015.
Many things can be understood under the term “abstract
art.” What is both different and mesmerizing about the art of Anita Lewis is
that it explains depth and texture, offering its own unraveling story to the
viewer. Yet, abstract art hardly describes the feel of her work.
Deriving suggestions from nature, Lewis adds elements of
gold, silver and copper leaf to add hidden treasures to her work, setting a
sort of vein buried deep beneath, suggesting depth of tangibility. Lewis’
technique is a mixture of the masters Pollock, Diebenkorn, Monet, Rothko, and
Richter, all blended to become her own.
Dripping, rubbing and dragging paint over the canvas, she
sets a mood to the work, never using brushes. Often described as taking the
viewer to a reminiscent place, the viewer is taken deep into the painting.
