Arlene Slavin - Paintings

Series Index | 1 / 2

Intersections

A new series of paintings referencing work Slavin exhibited in the mid 1970s. Like the early work these paintings are pencil diagonal grid based with layers of lush translucent stained colors. In many paintings the X provides a recognizable entrance into an abstract world, as the viewer's eye scans and jumps from color to color slowly entering into the depth of the painting.

Landscapes

Inspired by painting during the summer in her Wainscott, New York studio, Slavin's work filtered the landscape through her engagement with craft of painting spills, splatters, pours, washes, and drips capture a poetic naturalism in a light-infused magical atmosphere.
