Resonance: New Paintings by Rebecca Crowell

From the venue:

Resonance: New Paintings by Rebecca Crowell features 14 of the artist’s most recent abstract paintings in the challenging media of oil paint and cold wax.The visual vocabulary of Crowell’s work has evolved over time from experiences in the ancient, rugged landscapes of northern New Mexico, where she now lives, and in other remote places, such as the west coast of Ireland where she spends time. The dramatic vistas of these landscapes are moving and rich in complex colors and textures, organic shapes, and luminous atmosphere. Combined with techniques of pure abstraction, Crowell creates imagery that is much more inner landscape than external depiction. To quote the artist: “Rugged landscapes have taught me what I want my paintings to be—strong yet nuanced, bold yet intricate, and possessing a quiet, contained energy— all of which I hope resonates with the viewer.”
