Flights | New works in acrylic by Verna Vogel

February 02, 2024


Flights 

New works in acrylic by Verna Vogel
February 17th - March 17th 2024
Opening Reception | Saturday, February 17th from 4 - 7 p.m.
I begin my paintings with blind drawing, a discipline which relies on my body's spatial sensibility to create a balance of forms. In the resulting stable framework I can play freely with colour, open-eyed. This way of working connects to a deep and vital, joyful intelligence which is rarely accessible through sight and conscious mind alone. 
In this body of work, heightened visual textures and patterning create a flattened surface complexity. This intrigues me. What do they show, what do they conceal? As the paintings emerged, many thoughts and feelings about the worlds we inhabit played through my mind and heart. 
 
If you haven't had the opportunity to catch it yet, here's an insightful interview featuring Verna from 2021:
