on the hunt for good art

Marisa Purcell @ Edwina Corlette

Thursday, March 21, 2013 · 2 Comments

The paintings in Marisa Purcell upcoming show at Edwina Corlette Gallery are very beautiful, ethereal and transcendent. Above all they strike me as comforting, like a beloved thick down quilt.

“The subject of Marisa Purcell’s artwork cannot be found in her paintings but comes about through the experience of them. Their meaning resides in the illusory spaces created between the swathes and splashes of brilliant saturated colour, and the bold and ghostly forms that spill out from her canvases to permeate the viewer.” – Edwina Corlette Gallery

    LOVE Marisa’s work! Another artist turned me on to her last week and I literally just wrote a post about her to go up next week. Would love to make a trip down-under just to see these in person!
