About the Item
This painting features hues of blue, purple, orange and yellow.
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.

"Wildflower" - nature inspired abstract painting, bright colors
By Marina Dunbar
Located in Atlanta, GA
"Wildflower" features hues of pink, yellow, orange, blue, green and purple.
Marina Dunbar is inspired by the work of Paul Jenkins and Morris Louis.
“I often think about painting in three dimensions, rather than two,” says Marina. “When engaging with the surface, I am considering how the arrangement and folds of the canvas will influence the composition.” Her process is as rooted in the physical construction of form as it is propelled by the medium’s inherent fluidity.
The title of her exhibition – Fluent Form – refers to the practice of exploring opposing concepts, such as density and fragility, continuity and impermanence, within the same material. As one progression leads to the next, Marina studies the medium without premeditation, remaining sensitive to nuances within her process.
Marina has introduced natural elements such as dry pigments and sand into these paintings. Sand is a physical object, yet its existence is a representation of the passage of time. It is the result of rock erosion, and it is a material that continually assembles into new patterns. In the Buddhist tradition, sand is used to convey beauty and ephemerality through the construction and subsequent destruction of mandalas...
