STONES AND LACE, FEATHERS AND FLOWERS




I don't usually blog much about art unless it's plant related but in this case I think it's valid. I love STONES AND LACE, FEATHERS AND FLOWERS just as much. I want one.

Motel is pleased to present the work of Philadelphia-based artist Casey Watson. In her first solo exhibition with the gallery, Stones and Lace, Feathers and Flowers, Watson presents a series of 11 agate paintings, accompanied by 4 larger works. Working in ink on paper, Watson's still-lifes bear a cunning simplicity, exhibiting a sophisticated attention to form, texture, light and pattern with a straightforward compositional style. Utilizing the inherent properties of ink, Watson exploits the luminous layering of color and strategic feathering bleeds to convey subtle details, unpredictability and depth. At times, the artist departs from the rigors of objective representation, shifting from source material to imagination, yet still maintains an unquestionable realism.
