Catherine Howe's Paintings Merge Still Life with Action at Von Lintel Gallery
Catherine Howe's showcase at Von Lintel Gallery in New York City, which runs through May 5, 2012, presents her latest creations that merge action painting with still life elements. Among her pieces is 'Night Painting (Bluestocking)' from 2012, crafted with oil and beeswax on canvas, producing vibrant surfaces where liquid pigments seem to curdle and form cracks. Utilizing rollers, Howe deliberately mixes pigments and mediums, playing with the tensions of varying viscosities in a playful manner. Despite featuring tranquil subjects like flowers and fruit, her brushwork is dynamic, reflecting her mastery of intaglio printmaking. The exhibition, situated at 520 West 23rd Street, between 10th and 11th avenues, can be contacted at 212 242 0599. David Cohen's review praises the paintings for their bold delicacy and captivating beauty.
