Artist Statement: Maryanne Pollock
Maryanne Pollock is currently showing here at Vastu. Here is a statement regarding her work. It will be on display now through October 4th.
Expressive layering of sand, sumi ink and paint evoke ephemeral micro and macrocosmic worlds in Maryanne Pollock’s latest show at Vastu. Intricate brain wave patterns, aerial views of deserts and cityscapes are alluded to and ultimately imbued with a luminous palette. Plein air studies of Cairo, Istanbul, Paris, Washington, Utah and Rehoboth Beach inform her paintings. These boldly abstract inner-landscapes are simultaneously energetic and serene with pure transcendent color.
A graduate of Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia and school in Rome, Italy, Pollock also studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and has done graduate work at American University. Her recent exhibition titled, “Human Grid” was in Paris, France. She has exhibited widely with shows in Basel, Switzerland, Cairo and Alexandria, Egypt and in the USA. Her work was included in the State Department’s Arts in Embassies Program. This is her second show with Vastu.
New Art Exhibition – Now through Oct 4
Vastu is pleased to welcome two artists from the DC area for our current exhibition.
Vastu is pleased to bring back Campbell Maloney for another show. Campbell chose fifteen basic shapes – circles cut systematically – that can be rotated to create all 26 letters of the alphabet. The elegant brilliance of the formula is matched by the striking visual impact of its result. The shapes are arranged and oriented as solitaires, words or collections, equal in size or scaled proportionally and over-imposed. The designs evoke flatness and depth simultaneously.
