Laura Davis (NC), Homage to J.M.W. Turner Snowstorm 1842

oil on canvas, signed lower right, gallery wrapped canvas.
48 x 48 in.
Artist's Statement:
My work grapples with the overwhelming abundance of information now present in our lives, information that is historical, visual, literary, or otherwise, and shares a fascination with assertive color, invented form, and the construction of dynamic spaces.

My expressionistic paintings depict acts, which are disguised and abstracted within gestural use of paint. With loaded brush marks and fragmented color - my works teeter on the edge of abstraction and figuration. Moving between ambiguity and explicitness, My energetic application of paint, configured to lead the viewer’s eye to dance across the canvas. My paintings are a tactile use of paint, coupled with exuberant and agitated strokes.
