Marsha Solomon’s series of large abstract paintings titled From Rhythm to Form utilize bold colors, dynamic brushwork, and positive and negative spaces to create a powerful, lyrical image, about no less than the elements of art itself. Inspired by Abstract Expressionism and building upon the force of Motherwell, the lyricism of Frankenthaler, the alternatingly delicate and bold interplay of tones of Morris Louis, Solomon’s work exhibits her own unique blend of spontaneity and deliberation.
Her series of Still-Life paintings, entitled Tapestries, presents a distinctive vision. For these, she uses intricately woven fabrics, objects collected from around the world, brightly colored glass, and antiques to create complex, patterned compositions reminiscent of Matisse, but inspired by sources as varied as Japanese woodblock prints, Dutch genre paintings and the still-life paintings of Cézanne.
Her painting, Timeless Rhythms, part of a series of Sumi Ink and Acrylic paintings of grapevines, displays her talent in weaving brushstrokes and tones to create an overall pattern both simple and complex, creating an image that is equal parts Zen painting and Jackson Pollock.
Marsha Solomon – Selected Works offers Long Island viewers a chance to see the work of this sophisticated artist in an intimate, local setting.
The BAFFA Gallery is located at 47 Gillette Avenue, Sayville, NY 11782
Exhibition hours: Tues. Thurs. Fri 10-1. Sat. and Sun 1-4.
