Dolores Tema More Art

American

Dolores Tema was born in the Bronx in 1942. Tema studied design at Parsons School of Design and further continued her studies at Hunter College. She then worked as a graphic designer for Shell Oil and City Bank, both in New York City. After moving to Connecticut, she continued her study in visual art at Wesleyan University in Middletown and also spent a summer at Istituto Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence. Tema works full time teaching art in a Jesuit high school in Fairfield and also finds time to produce works in watercolor and various print mediums. Many of her pieces begin as sketches made on location around her home and while traveling. Her love of working on location adds to the vitality and life in her work. Tema says, “Art is an exploration of self as determined by the world around us. While we are anchored in time and space, art acts to bring us beyond the ordinary, to capture what can ultimately be defined as truth. I think anyone who involves himself in this process experiences that place that defies time and space and where the journey begins. My journey began as a child, observing my surroundings and those around me. I have always translated these observations in drawings, paintings and even small objects built. My current work involves the tension between that which we know and that which is felt. This tension is realized as colors come together and merge into each other to become whole. I hope to achieve a kind of movement, dance and balance in the work through the use of shape, color and form."

What Endures (Colorful Abstract Mixed Media Painting in Blue, Multi-Color)
Located in Hudson, NY
Brightly colored abstract mixed media painting with a gradient grey-blue background and multi-color detail "What Endures" by Hudson Valley based artist, Gina Occhiogrosso, made in 2020 acrylic and oil on piece and sewn muslin 48 x 36 inches Signed Verso Gina Occhiogrosso expands the boundaries of painting as she explores a preoccupation with the materiality of painting itself. Wet acrylic is applied to a stretched muslin surface where biomorphic shapes are formed using a combination of neon and pastel palettes. What follows is a process of disassembly and realignment when the artist cuts and sutures the painted surfaces back together. The act of cutting leads to new forms, dynamic connections, and illusions of depth. Slightly raised stitched seams act as a geometric disrupter to create both linear and sculptural elements, suggesting ties that are fragile yet unified. Her process and choice of materials are a nod to the female tradition of needlework (both of her immigrant grandmothers were seamstresses) and to commonplace materials like cotton muslin, yarn and thread used to craft something truly fine. Extremely tactile in nature, the artist has perfected a technique to make paintings that are full of suggestive qualities abstraction can create, and that allows her to “explore anxiety, loss, humor and heroic femininity.” Gina Occhiogrosso’s national group exhibition experience includes group exhibitions at The Painting Center and The Tang Teaching Museum. She served on the arts faculty at the College of Saint Rose and was the previous gallery director for the Arts Center of the Capital Region. Artist Statement: In my work, the hallowed and often masculinized tradition of painting is subverted through the cutting and sewing together of painted surfaces. The act of cutting leads to new forms, dynamic connections and illusions of depth, and the seams disrupt colorful forms that are carefully rendered and then sutured together. Intention and chance fuel this process of alignment and repositioning. Spaces and forms interact ambiguously, seemingly in flux and in conversation. I compose through the application of wet color on a surface and through the process of disassembly and realignment. Throughout the paintings, slightly raised seams are made where freshly painted edges join, creating both linear and sculptural elements. The seams suggest ties that are tenuous yet sturdy, fragile yet unified. Bright colors, shifting shapes and the visibility of seams connect to notions of pattern, fashion, crafts, and the history of “women’s work.” The toughness and thinness of the fabric is a reminder of the tension inherent in that history.
