Elizabeth Neel‘s new works are exemplary of the artist’s singular and distinctive vocabulary of abstraction. Her dexterous mark-making results in compositions that translate a choreography of movements into specific forms. Often inspired by nature, Neel’s works express the motion of the natural world in flux, both the energy of rebirth and the fragility of decay. Swaths of paint anchor swirls, splatters, and smears evoking a sense of gravity and visualizing the raw energy and motion of Neel’s application of paint. Her drips, pours, sweeping brush strokes, and mono-printing techniques conjure a poetic lyricism beyond her canvases. Neel’s work is rife with tension between the natural world and the urban environment. It speaks of a charged emotional landscape arising from this tension.
Bari Ziperstein‘s ceramic sculptures are elaborately hand-built works that pay homage to the long history of clay in Southern California. Her highly detailed sculptures are sophisticatedly engineered yet revel in their handmade quality. Taking inspiration from turn-of-the-century art and design objects, Ziperstein translates the aesthetics of these historical works into ceramic forms that are intricately embellished with ornate patterns. In 2022, Ziperstein was invited to be the scholar in residence at the Wolfsonian museum and library in Miami, Florida. There she became enthralled with the functional and decorative objects of the Viennese group “Wiener Werkstätte”. Her interest in the creative output of the “Wiener Werkstätte” stems from the movement’s politics and aesthetics which embrace maximalist and highly stylized designs ripe with floral patterning. In sampling the patterns and shapes of objects and textiles found in the Wolfsonian’s archives, Ziperstein creates her own and unique visual language thus bending the rules of the medium’s history.
