Located in New York, NY
Portal 23 #4 (2023)
Acrylic, wax, and aluminum leaf on paper.
8" x 8" unframed
15" x 15" framed
Hester’s practice is a meditation on both her personal and our collective pasts. Throughout her works, Hester consistently acknowledges the seemingly opposing forces that build our daily lives—creating an atmosphere abounding with both elegy and rejuvenation.
The artist’s technique of painting on each substrate—paper, plexiglass and aluminum—goes far beyond conventional brushwork. Through a painstaking and physical process, she applies and removes acrylic paint with the use of sanders, hammers, routers and drills, in a continual process of building, breaking and rebuilding. Surprisingly, even the works on paper are sanded. Surfaces are mottled and textured, scraped and punctured. Layer upon layer of striated, thick colors dance astride more delicate patterned areas, created with collaged bits of metal leaf and complex cross-hatching marks. Yet, strikingly, the eye finds places of rest as colors and patterns conjoin harmoniously, and chaos and control share spaces.

About the Artist:
Francie Hester works principally on sculpted aluminum, steel and plexiglass, in a process-based practice that builds pixelated and vibrant pigments in deep layers with patterns of drips, grids and fragmented shapes that are then deconstructed through sanding, scraping, drilling and cutting to reveal the finished, textured surfaces.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in Jordan, Ulaanbaatar, Ireland, and Costa Rica, and in solo exhibitions with Susan Eley...

Connected Conversations 2
By Farida Hughes
Located in Boston, MA

Scientists like my work. They often make comments about looking at specimens in a petri dish, or at rocks or natural materials under a microscope.
The two "Connected Conversations" panels (numbers 1 and 2) are painted in mixed media on alupanel, and aluminum sheet material. They are braced on the back for hanging and support and look like they are floating on the wall.
Keywords: color, abstract, movement, motion, circles, yellow, bubbles, maroon, wine
Details about the piece:
- This is a hand painted, original painting
- Created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
- Artist now lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Artist Biography:
Farida Hughes’ lively and intriguing abstract paintings take their inspiration from the gathering and dispersing of crowds, group relationships, and shared histories and stories of people. She developed her abstract mixed media style, and methods of mixing oil paint with resin, after many years of painting with oil paint and experimenting with oil painting mediums. Hughes studied Studio Art and English at Fordham University in New York and received an MFA in Painting from the University of Chicago. Her work is exhibited widely in galleries and art centers and collected nationally. She is currently represented by Walker Fine Art...

Intermingled 1
By Farida Hughes
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary:
For ten years I lived in Minnesota and had a studio in Northeast Minneapolis, which I loved. When I moved to the city, I began to paint compositions of abstracted crowds of people as imagined from above. Can you envision this painting as a large crowd of people? You can hang this either horizontally or vertically. A little impressionistic in expression, this painting also reminds me of a garden of happy flowers.
Keywords: color, abstract, movement, motion, circles, yellow, bubbles, gray, orange, colorful, texture, busy
Details about the piece:
- This is a hand painted, original painting
- Created in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
- Artist now lives and works in Baltimore, Maryland, USA

- Other materials include professional grade watercolor and oil pastel
