About the Item

Net (Non-Representational Painting of Yellow Grid on Wood Panel) 16 x 16 x 2 inches encaustic, collage on wood panel Signed on reverse This abstract work on wood panel was created by Poughkeepsie-based artist, Donise English, who received her MFA from Bard College and is currently a Professor of Studio Art at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, NY. This abstract geometric composition features a playful grid-like motif that could take on a variety of forms; perhaps even the lower part of a woman's torso! The geometric forms are made in a more painterly, gestural manner rather than with a hard edge. Paint is not heavily built up upon the surface but it certainly exhibits a tactile quality which is characteristic of the artist's aesthetic. English's work celebrates the quirky, unexpected qualities of shapes and colors. The painting is unframed and ready to hang. Artist Statement: I am interested in drawing and collaging multiple layers of information that refer abstractly to maps, architectural drawings and blueprints or patterns and structures found in such things as roller coasters, power lines and fences. I use gouache and collaged paper in a series of layers that are a visual and ideological response to the previous layer to define my pictorial space. For each piece I create a set of rules to follow about the use of a limited palette, a grid format, opacity of paper and whether a piece may include curving lines or maintain a rectilinear structure.
