PAINTINGS I

"An alluring use of color can invigorate and emphasize a fanciful quality, creating works that are both timeless and contemporary. With this current series, I explore opposites in structure; while color and shape may reference 1960s Modern Art and the age of Pop painting, playful brushwork pays homage to more Abstract Expressionist traditions. I use areas of block color and precise lines against drips and paint-rolling techniques, playing with rigid graphic themes alongside more fluid, intuitive ones."  - Liane Ricci
