Rita Simon Drawings and Watercolor Paintings

American, b. 1938
Rita Simon (1938 – Present) Rita Simon is an American artist whose complex and dream-like prints are more like visions in mystery. As a graduate of Cornell University and the Academy of Rome in Italy, Simon has written for various art publications and coordinated original theme exhibitions. There is no idea or image that is out of bounds, she reaches beyond conventional understanding to depict un-worldly concepts. Her work has been exhibited in 1971 and again in 1974, in the windows of two dozen Madison Avenue galleries.

By Christina McPhee

Located in New York, NY

BLUE JAY WAY, 2012 ink and graphite on Arches cold press paper 44.5 x 75 inches / 1130 x 1905 mm  unframed Christina McPhee’s expansive abstract paintings, drawings, photographs, and videos test or query how can we know, and who is we? Moving from within a matrix of measurement, observation and contingent effects, her work resists characterization as product, and continually accesses fields outside itself. For her, process equals trial. Her work emulates potential forms of life, in various systems and territories, from a perspective of the non-self– a world beyond identity. McPhee’s dynamic, performative, physical engagement with materials, in both her analogue and digital works, is a seduction into surface-skidding calligraphic gestures and mark-making. The tactics of living are in subterfuge, like the ‘dazzle ships...
