About the Item
"Untitled, 1974" by Claudia Sisemore, acylic on canvas, 58 x 56 inches, $7,200. Unframed.
"I have a vague idea of what I am going to paint. I read that many artists are inspired by an idea before they begin their work and plan their approach and process based on that idea or muse. Others become inspired after they have begun working and watching colors, shapes and designs form. I basically belong the second group. Usually, after painting begins in a loose, free manner, I become excited by certain colors and patterns and continue from there." -Claudia Sisemore

Caudia Sisemore says she was teaching English when artist David Chaplin (an equally popular and influential teacher) was at Weber and initially got her into landscape painting. “Then he took me to a show at the Art Barn and Lee [Deffebach] was showing there [with Don Olsen and Larry Elsner]. It was when she was with [then- husband] Gordon Bailey, and my first impression of abstract was ‘anyone could do that.’
“I took a class from Lee at the Art Barn and her approach was, of course, just do whatever you want to do. Lee was a fantastic Abstract Expressionist.” The two showed together at Westminster in 1974, Color Field and Abstract Expressionist work. “She came up to the house, we were good friends, and she said will you show me how you do [Color Field] painting. I used to paint on the ground outside. I’d go to Utah Tent and Awning to get the canvas because I didn’t have any money, and I think Lee taught me how to build stretcher bars and I’d get unprimed canvas, which she hadn’t done yet, and then acrylic and watered-down stain and rollers, not as big as some of her Alph series, but big, and then brushes and poured and she watched – we learned a lot from each other. We never had the same style, though we had the same technique. “– excerpt from Ann Poore’s 15 Bytes article 6/2015

- Inland Crossing 35By Hyunmee LeeLocated in Salt Lake City, UTThe gestural paintings of Hyunmee Lee are sumptuously minimal. Rich forms advance from buttery canvases like an abstract garden. Gauzy veils of paint hover like soft air against the ebony weight of matter. Light peeks through translucent shapes like sunlight illuminating soft mist. Texture swirls and echoes across the canvas as if carved by waves or eroded by the wind. The viewer, invited into a realm of contemplation and meditation, is surprised to look away and see the physical world existing in only three dimensions. But perhaps that is precisely the experience the artist would like the viewer to have. In her current exhibition, Touch, on display at the Phillips Gallery...Category

Objects, if any, and ground are treated equally. The abstract paintings begin on paper or canvas with a textured base. From there, simple lines or shapes are added, and quite often followed by actions (carving, sanding) that create unplanned patterns or textures that will ultimately define the painting.
