Emily Van HornLaw of Abstraction
About the Item
EMILY VAN HORN My soul purpose is as a catalyst for transformation. As a visual starting point I draw inspiration from urban surroundings, the crumbling splendor of a half torn down apartment in Barcelona, painted over graffiti on concrete walls under LA freeways, an engaging soundtrack or an intention setting meditation can all become resources. Gesture, line, shape, collage, and a variety of palettes, bring life to canvas, panel, or paper. With support of the grid for structure, intuitive marks begin the dialogue. A hierarchy emerges and decisions are made regarding what it essential and what must be let go. Layering and removing paint, adding and covering line, the conversation continues until a particular frequency resonates and there is a sense of balance and connection. The act of painting has been about letting go and surrendering to what wants to come through. For the viewer the work holds potential for trasnsformational impact, allowing for subtle or dramatic internal resulting in a vibrational shift, raising frequency, for those who resonate with it.

- PRISMATIC SERIES #2 VERMILLION/YELLOW/TURQUOISEBy Linda JacobsonLocated in Palm Desert, CAThe Prismatic Series is based on light, movement and color, abstract paintings expressing the changing qualities of the external world, without any limitations of form. Prismatic Series #2 is painted with many layers of oil glazes over acrylic washes to create luminous color. On gallery wrapped canvas. Linda Jacobson's paintings are lyrical abstractions inspired by her love of landscape and its elements: form, movement, light, and what she perceives to be its essence an energy or quality that goes beyond visual appearance. Born in Los Angeles, she received her BFA from California State College, Northridge, and graduated Summa cum Laude from the prestigious Art Center College of Design where she was mentored by pioneer California modernist Lorser Feitelson. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad, including MRG Fine Art, in Los Angeles; Gallerie Rohling, Berlin, Germany; California State University Channel Islands in Ventura; Karpeles Museum in Santa Barbara, California; BG Gallery in Santa Monica; George Lawson...Category
