About the Item
This painting by Linda King Ferguson is part of her equivalence series, which began as a feminist project; works that subvert the historically male gaze and a material language speaking of gendered concerns. The three circles that descend vertically down the center of the painting form a triple vesica piscis shape. The circles expose the underpainting of the canvas, which is a gradient of wine red to yellow from top to bottom respectively. The intersections of the three circles have been cut on one side, revealing that the back of the canvas is also painted a descending gradient.
Her color choices first came from Helen Molesworth’s essay, Painting With Ambivalence, published in WACK! Art of the Feminist Revolution. The Essay includes a large reproduction of Mary Heilmann’s 1979 painting "Save the Last Dance for Me." In this work she painted a black field with 3 floating pink rectangles, colors signifying the disco era that referenced a significant period of feminism. Inspired by it, some of Linda's earliest works of the Equivalence Series were primarily black with pink. From there, her color evolved to become sourced from lipstick and nail polish color charts, signifying hues coordinating with flesh tones made for women to use and wear.
"Red has so many emotive associations, depending on its saturation, tone, and context- like hair, skin, blush, blood, wine, love, the heart, the hearth, heat, passion, sex, rage, fire, fire trucks, stop signs and light, power, and the root.
For me red is an interior light, the light of a womb if lit; cradled, safe, and loved. When I close my eyes, I see first a dimmed red, the hue of body, the color of our interior and exterior life and humanity."
Linda King Ferguson lives and works in Munising, MI and Nashville, TN. She is in residence semi-annually in Brooklyn, NY. She has a MA from Rhode Island School of Design, and received an MFA from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She also has studied at Academia Di Belle Arti in Perugia, Italy, and Penland School of Crafts. Ferguson has been awarded several art residencies including Ragdale and The Morris Graves Foundation and exhibited widely, including the exhibitions, Fiber Optics, Minus Space, Brooklyn, NY and Stomach Acid Reflux.
This painting is featured in a gallery show that will end in late March and therefore will not be available to ship until then.
