Laura Roebuck
Waiting for Pink II

2022

About the Item

In a world where we continually redefine ourselves through the changing lenses of gender and politics, Laura Roebuck’s solo exhibition, “Reclaiming Pink” is the result of her efforts to reclaim the color pink from its long association with stereotypical femininity and intense commercial marketing. Growing up in the 1950/60s, Roebuck witnessed the co-opting of pink and its subsequent negative cultural effects and rejected the color. In her early paintings, there is a clear absence of pink.  However, as she has moved through her practice, she realized that the exclusion of pink had become its own limitation. “Reclaiming Pink” is the bold integration of pink into Roebuck’s abstract expressionist paintings. In her newest work, the artist uses the language of spontaneity, improvisation, and movement to negotiate the color pink, its history and its continued contemporary relevance. Roebuck has focused on its conceptual role in her paintings and works on paper. This is an exhibition about choice and growth. Roebuck’s work offers opportunities to consider renewal and reinvention.

  • Grey & Tan Abstract Expressionist Textural Mid-Century Abstract by Peter Witwer
    By Peter Witwer
    Located in Soquel, CA
    Grey & Tan Abstract Expressionist Textural Mid-Century Abstract by Peter Witwer Heavily textured, expressive composition by Peter Witwer (American, 1928-1968). Over the top of a heavy base layer of plaster, Witwer has added various layers of oil paint, creating a massive amount of depth and texture. Sections of red peek out from underneath various shades of tan, grey, and black. Spots of blue and purple are used sparingly, hidden in the composition. Presented in a wood frame. Canvas size: 20"H x 40"W Frame size: 26.63"H x 46.63"W Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work. Provenance: Without a will and a family that had little interest in his art, nearly all of his possessions and close to 100 paintings were turned over to SF’s Conservators Office. His friend, Albert Richard Lasker, purchased all of Peter’s possessions (including the art) and has taken care of them until this day, always sensing there was something remarkable about the collection. Wanting Peter’s work to finally be seen, Richard came to Lost Art Salon with Peter’s story after reading about the new gallery in a July, 2005 issue of the SF Chronicle. Born George Peter...
