About the Item
This painting features hues of yellow, orange, blue and green.
Cynthia Knapp is inspired by the works of Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler and Grace Hartigan.
Cynthia Knapp is an abstract artist whose paintings and works on paper are musings on the inter-relationships of organic structures. Fields of color blur, overlap, and interact creating an amalgam of natural shapes, not through representation or expression, but rather in portraying the essence of abstraction as seen in the physical environment.
“There is a visual dialog, a mediation between seemingly autonomous forms, which is constantly in play,” says Cynthia. “This intercession happens while constructing and editing visual elements into a symbiotic balance. Form is absolutely defined and dependent on the visual space that surrounds it. Line gestures mark an essence of motion because of the spatial displacement around that movement. Color, texture, and translucence are enhanced by the surrounding absence of that quality, making it more evident.”
At times, the work references topography, rock formations, or repetitious natural patterning. Paint and glaze are layered, added, and removed until the forms develop on the painting surface. Line and color can wrest dimensionality from the flat surface of paper or canvas. The linear references sometimes define the edge of a form or pose a topographic contour to suggest its volume.
Ongoing concerns of the work are expressed in formal and thematic dichotomies seeking
reconciliation: line and color, flatness and dimensionality, abstract form and ground, tension and calm, conflict and resolution, order, and chaos. These notions are vital in the painting process. With the inspection of these opposites, visual editing is constantly in play as the painting emerges.
Born in Orange, New Jersey, Cynthia spent her childhood in Canada. After completing her education at York University with an Honors BA in Fine Arts in 1974, she returned to the United States. Currently living in Peachtree City, Cynthia has worked for most of her professional life in the Atlanta area.
