Exhibition "12" was a group exhibit with NCWCA located at 416 Warehouse in downtown Oakland on July 3rd, 2015.
This exhibit was focused on the works all members had created within the last 12 months giving it its name "12". I participated with two of my most recent paintings, "Satin Blue" and "Muybridge's Movements".
I created "Muybridge's Movements" as homage to Eadweard Muybridge, a photographer from the early 1900s who resided in San Francisco. Muybridge inspired me with his captivating photographs to create an abstract version of his moving silhouettes.
"Satin Blue" is a woman lying on her back who draws us into the canvas through the moving silk that covers her body. Creating a profound abstraction of a sensual invitation that also reminds the viewer to just admire the unrevealed beauty.
