Laurel Sparks, BFA '95
Faux d' Artifice
48h x 42w x 2d
DESCRIPTION: Paintings, Unframed, Waterbased paint, mixed media on Canvas
ARTIST STATEMENT: Spectral abstractions of Baroque chandeliers evoke hedonism and elusive shapeshifting. These paintings combine the ornate flatness of fin-de-siecle modernism with fluid pours and expressive gestures to produce theatrical iconography. Pooled silhouettes layer over ambidextrous line drawings, at once taking shape and dissolving with patterns of cosmetic smears, carnival color, glitter, and accents of decorative relief. The surfaces oscillate between elegant composure and excess.
