You can get lost in the mind of Jill Nathanson. In her captivating paintings, overlapping planes of translucent color generate expansive surfaces rich with free-form shapes. Her ethereal compositions seem weightless in the way they evoke slow, sliding movement. Although her abstraction is assuredly non-objective, she paints “the world of things” according to the artist herself. Just when we’re immersed in the deep layers of polymer resin, patches of acrylic bring us back to reality. MARY NEGRO (2012)
