About
In this large, horizontal oil painting on canvas, bright burgundy and crimson red seeds spill out from inside an opened pomegranate, its sensuous form spread across a three panel composition. The rich, vibrant shades of rouge within the fruit are dramatic against the soft gray background. The fruit casts shadows on the pale, surrounding gossamer, creating depth and dimension in the space. The result is a painting full of movement and emotion, of beauty and allegorical symbolism. Signed by artist on the verso. Andrea Kantrowitz's new series titled “Anti-Pareidolia” focuses on the examination of complex structures of coral, crystals and plants to reveal the intricate structures formed through nature’s random processes. The artist’s careful observation and close scrutiny generates discovery and understanding of how these marvels have come to be. By concentrating on a singular structure and by conflating the scale of these small, elaborately-constructed organisms, Kantrowitz compels us to share in the magic of discovery. Though the artist is focused on close observation, she paints generously, often loosely, in luxurious oil colors achieving a rare luminosity. Her paintings are literal depictions of specific information while allowing space for metaphor and imagination. Andrea Kantrowitz earned her EdD at Columbia University, her MFA from Yale University School of Art and her BA from Harvard University. She has been widely published and is a frequent invited speaker throughout the USA, the UK and Singapore, including a 2017 TEDx Talk. Dr. Kantrowitz currently teaches at the State University of New York @ New Paltz. She lives and works in Pelham, NY.Details
