Josette Urso
Josette Urso "Skylawn" Water Color on Paper, Framed

2021

About the Item

Of her recent works, Urso states, "I make exploratory paintings, working in response to my immediate environment. My approach involves moment-to-moment extrapolation governed by intuitive leaps of scale, color, and wayward geometry. As I paint, contrasts and cross-fertilizations unfold and are cumulative, non-linear, free-flowing, and interpretive. Space becomes an ambiguous and malleable substance; its manipulation and acrobatic mark-making become a kind of gymnasium of image collision. My paintings are records of these explorations and of the activity that goes into painting them. They are about being immersed in the act of looking and engaging." Josette Urso makes paintings, watercolors and drawings in an urgent attempt to capture the essence and energy of whatever surrounds her – be it a landscape, a subway, an apartment view, or a dinner table. Her approach involves moment-to-moment extrapolation governed by intuitive leaps of scale, color and wayward geometry. She works from observation--intuitively, playfully--in a process that makes room for many visual surprises and an enormous range of inventive mark making.
