Sharon Louden American (b.1964) Flaps, 1999 watercolor & gel medium on acetate Provenance: Works on Paper INC. Los Angeles, CA. From Wikipedia: Sharon Louden is an American artist known for her whimsical use of the line. Her paintings, drawings, animations, sculpture and installations are often centered on lines or linear abstractions and their implied or actual movement. Through her work she creates what she calls "anthropomorphic individuals." Although abstract and formal, she feels they have human-like aspects within their minimal state, made of simple line and gesture. In reference to her minimalist paintings, Louden has been called "the Robert Ryman of the 21st century." 25"H x 20"W (sight), 32 1/2"H x 27 1/2"W (frame)
