This new group of paintings by Marseille offers a glimpse at her continual growth and development as an artist. The paintings are powerful and complex. Larger encaustic works in the exhibition, such as Finding My Way and Piercing Reality have an unharnessed stormy quality that leave the viewer breathless at their sheer strength. Other works, such as Fatehpur Sikri act as tour guide through a variegated and mysterious landscape. There is an integrity and intelligence to Marseille’s works that has been notable from the start. She is willing to, in her words “hover in that precognitive gap between thoughts”. She is committed to giving up control and exploring with curiosity the places where the creative process take her.
The exhibition is accompanied by a 6" x 6" catalog with a copy of the above dvd, an essay by Paul Liberatore and statement by the artist. $10
