- Summary:
- Building upon interests in natural patterns and elemental forces, Angela Heisch's recent abstractions encapsulate a celestial expansiveness and a harmonious order through the use of a luminous, baroque color palette with swift, fluid movement or, alternatively, a dense stillness. This is the largest exhibition of Heisch's work to date, allowing the artist to work on a grander scale to explore motion and landscape in unprecedented fashion. Several new works on view employ an architectural language and hard-edged, mechanical style to reference cityscapes and manufactured developments of the organic world. As such, Heisch aims to highlight the connectivity and mirrored relationship between nature and the manmade. Such dichotomies are at the root of Heisch's practice, as referenced by the exhibition title As above, so below: hard and soft, fast and slow, light and dark. The paintings in the exhibition each have a counterpart, or a 'response painting,' a process that has allowed the artist to examine each work through a divergent lens: meditating on alternative environments, materials, and time. This creates a brief and discreet narrative and relationship between the paintings which otherwise prompt the viewer to create meaning through their own projections.
