Oil and acrylic on canvas, 2008.
18 x 12 in.
Even though Sandi Slone has often worked with oversized brushes—an early series of abstract paintings made with large brooms established her reputation as a young painter — she long has had a predilection for intimate gestures and unexpected incidents that signal her preoccupation with visual metaphors for everything from the physicality of color, that impacts landscape memory and the body, to the current state of our fraught planet. While Slone does not limit herself to any one technique or style there has always been a sense of the hand, calligraphic gestures that expand the language of contemporary abstraction with its wide-ranging reflections as much as her sweeping swaths of paint and transparent pours do. "I still think abstract painting is a world unto itself—a parallel universe infinitely unknown—a perfect representation of the world in its complexity, not unlike music, mathematics and nature’s material spirit. Color is the Spectrum of Timeâ€.
Slone’s first solo exhibitions in New York were represented by Acquavella Galleries in the 1970s and 80s. Her paintings have since been the subject of over 40 solo exhibitions throughout the US and internationally.
