About the Item
Paper size is 14 x 10 inches. Letraset, ink and pigment stick on handmade paper. Framed.
Based in Andres, NY and West Orange, NJ, Lisa Pressman initially focused on sculpture before moving toward painting in the 1980s, shaped by Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism. In her paintings and works on paper on view at SEFA Hudson, materiality remains central: “a source and an influence on what happens within each work, the imagery, the composition.” Crafted through Pressman’s masterful handling of wax and pigment, these new encaustic paintings demonstrate her continued interest in mark-making, as she layers these materials to build up surfaces. Entitled “Things That Were Never Said,” this work evolved from her previous “Navigation” series of encaustics, which similarly manifest themes of transience and transformation, loss and liminality. Also on view in this exhibition, “Messages” is a recent and ongoing series of mixed media works on paper. Pressman collects handmade paper, including Japanese Shikishi board that is edged with gold, as well as Letraset: rub-on letters employed by graphic designers before the computer era. On these unique papers, the artist employs the press-on letters as a mark-making tool to create a symbolic language—hieroglyphic and intuitive. This work was made during the pandemic as a means to meditate and to process the past few years of her life. Further manipulating the works, Pressman embellishes the paper with gold paint and ink, uses palo santo incense to create marks with smoke, and also sews into the backgrounds with colored thread (often red). Thus, a number of the pieces become objects—almost artifacts—generating a visceral allure via their handmade qualities and sense of tactility. Pressman recognizes the metamorphic potential within her recent body of work. Rooted in her own experiences of loss, articulated through her lyrical, ambiguous language—they reflect the grief of the world: a universal collective unconscious, influenced by “stored memory” yet “reshaping histories and futures.”

- Green Bricks, abstract geometric painting, gridLocated in New York, NYGouache and graphite on handmade paper. 18 x 12 inches unframed, 23.25 x 17.25 inches framed. Artist Statement: “As an artist, I find endless possibilities overwhelming and use self-imposed boundaries to focus my work. This often includes some combination of: a literal grid or graphite border, employment of barbecue skewers or wooden chopsticks in lieu of paintbrushes for mark making, use of a monochromatic or limited color palette, and a reliance on shape and pattern to tell a story. Limiting the elements at play adds a measure of gravity to each decision, and every detail about the paper, the viscosity of the paint, micro variations in hues, and even the sharpness of the point on a skewer matters. I’ve found that the more restrictions I put in place when I paint, the freer my work has become, allowing a tension to form between the organic and prescribed. Rather than sketch before starting a new piece, I spend time with the paper and begin to visualize possibilities. From there, I can expand the work incrementally. Whether I’m working in an adapted form of pointillism, playing with opacity and hue, or building patterns through repeating shape, the work evolves in its own time. It is an intentionally open process of discovery that seeks to uncover the greatest potential of the basest elements we have at our disposal”. - Kate SnowCategory
