Francisca Sutil Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

Chilean, b. 1952
Born in Santiago, Chilean painter and printmaker Francisca Sutil is known today for her stunning abstract and chromatic works. She received her studies in art moving between the U.S. and Chile, living in New York until 1992 before returning to Chile. With a practice spanning more than 30 years, Sutil bases her work on the experimentation of plastics resources, calling herself a "crafter of painting." Her art is characterized by its superb construction and unique thought-provoking qualities. Her work has no intended content, instead the artist desires to provoke emotions and sensations to encourage reflection and meditation. Sutil’s technique is integral to the experience, both in her prints and drawings on textured handmade paper, and in her pigmented gesso surfaces and vertical oil bands. She is interested in the relationship of color and light, as well as in the nature of the support. Her interest in the observation and meditation that the paintings cause is seen in the chained sequence of her compositions: trance-inducing shapes or marks assembled to reflect the experience of their creation.

Busy Blue (Abstract Checkered Pattern Gouache and Collage on Paper)

By Donise English

Located in Hudson, NY

Donise English Busy Blue, 2020 14" X 17" gouache and collage on paper This abstract geometric composition on paper features a playful geometric motif that is inspired by the artist's interest in architecture and blueprint drawings. The geometric forms are made in a more painterly, gestural manner rather than with a hard edge. Paint is not heavily built up upon the surface but it certainly exhibits a tactile quality which is characteristic of the artist's aesthetic. English's work celebrates the quirky, unexpected qualities of shapes and colors. About the artist: Donise English is a Poughkeepsie-based artist who received her MFA from Bard College and is currently a Professor of Studio Art at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. Artist Statement: I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.

Whispers & Hisses Series: 'In Worship'

By Winifred McNeill

Located in New York, NY

This series was inspired by a 1950’s era instruction manual found while clearing out my father’s basement workshop. The How To Light A Model manual employed voluptuous female models to teach lighting techniques to amateur photographers such as my father. Diagrams plot the prescribed direction of the lights. The nude women hold the pose, their lips bright red and their feet dirty from the studio floor. As naked props for the authoritarian photographer, their vulnerability seems palpable. This work visualizes the human condition as a balance between feral and fabricated worlds. Vivid, oversized creatures embody instinctual energy. Wax seals, gold spheres and text-like marks signify rational structures. One speaks in a whisper, the other in a hiss. Winifred McNeill...
