At waterworks gallery….

• Ruth at waterworks gallery says a year of changes created the opportunity for Joan Stuart Ross and Kathryn Trigg to experiment with their techniques, and in some instances changing their composition content. Come see their work at the gallery; here’s a bit about what they say they are up to:
Kathryn Trigg: Beach Party, Encaustic, 12 x 12
Kathryn [aka Kappy] is known for her monotype prints with rich color fields. Connections between gallery artists are always intriguing. In this case, Kathryn Trigg learned the encaustic technique from Joan Stuart Ross and has translated her mastery of saturated color and playful form to a new medium.
She says:
My work is abstract and is about process. I work primarily in the “color field” style and most of my recent work is either monotype or encaustic painting….both employ the art of layering. Printmaking lends itself well to the approach I take by layering many colors of ink on top of one another…often my prints are a result of 20-30 passes to achieve the depth I require. I hope that the prints are provocative. It is important that the viewer wants to return again and again.
The encaustic paintings are also layered….up to 20 or more layers of thin translucent or opaque colored wax build up to a rich translation of my abstract subjects. – KT 2010
Joan Ross: Access Code II, Repurposed Mixed Media, 18 x 24
Joan recently delivered a new, beautiful cohesive body of work. Her examination of surface in her paintings continues, incorporating cut up repurposed canvas pieces layered and adhered to a monotype print. The result is a visual op art feast.
She says: “I’ve investigated diverse forms and media with a signifying mark and color dynamic and have sought not to repeat myself–series of explorations start out strong, use their ingredients to the max and then lead me to another series–an ongoing process.” – JSR 2010
