Pamela Salisbury. New Work 2016

About

The show is comprised of sixteen small-scale paintings, ranging in size from 4 x 4 inches to 12 x 12 inches. All works are acrylic paint on wood panel. The new work represents a departure from the artist’s earlier oil paintings, which were made from observation and often made reference to birds and their habitat. While she continues to borrow basic shapes from the natural world, the forms are more abstract, and in many examples, highly stylized. The space created through color juxtapositions, and by overlapping and fusing form, is of special interest.
