Artist Statement:
For a long time I have used
the imagery of Venice and the
Italian landscape in my
paintings. The layered work in
oil is abstract yet retains
the essence of the images
which inspired them.
Architectural elements such as
grids, gates, hearts and
passages symbolize the passing
of time, changes in direction,
barriers to communication,
lost love. These fragments of
buildings can also be seen to
represent home or a longing
for stability, a struggle
against the transient nature
of life and relationships. My
most recent paintings were
inspired by the broken pieces
of ceramic tiles in the
Serpentine bench in Guell
Park, Barcelona, designed by
the architect Gaudi. I love
color and texture and I am
always exploring how color and
line come together to form the
structure of a painting. ...

Artist Reviews:
Pierre-Auguste Renoir once
stated, “The work of art must
seize upon you, wrap you up in
itself and carry you away .
It is the means by which the
artist conveys his passion.”
Few artists imbue their
paintings with as much passion
as Andrea Goldsmith. She has
reinvigorated the modern ...

There is something soothing about Planes and Patterns. Perhaps it is the unpretentiousness of the work. There is little energy spent on representation. At first glance the interaction with the work might be purely sensual. But Marcie's work deals with short term memory, and the recording and experiencing of single moments. Jaclyn is dealing with the fragility of the urban environment in competition with natural forces. Tina's work is inspired by the infinite and Pascal. Andrea's work is inspired by very real places and experiences in Italy and Barcelona. It is quite enjoyable to walk through this exhibition and bathe in the patterns and colors. But there is a depth to this work that demands that the viewer look further, to engage each of the pieces and begin a dialogue with the artists.
