On Being Noted (Abstract painting)

2016

About the Item

On Being Noted (Abstract painting) Oil and graphite on canvas. Unframed. This work is part of McCagg “Portrait/Icon” series, an expansion of her current work depicting natural and human relationships. In On Being Noted, Xanda McCagg continues expressing observation and emotions about the human condition through her abstract visual language. In this imagery she is thinking about the figure (metaphorically) in space and what is going on inside the form. Xanda McCagg is an American abstract artist who lives and works in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City. A classically trained painter, she has evolved into a style that abandons figuration in search of evoking the human essence. McCagg is inspired by the human experience, in particular the behaviors that arise from, and correlate to human relationships. Her work is often informed by the larger systems that emerge out of those relationships. Cultural issues like poverty, government, religion and war, cultural phenomena like mythology, and dichotomies such as strength and weakness often manifest in her work on a human and intimate scale.
