Opening Reception | one wing: Solo Painting Exhibition Capturing the Essence of a Feeling
An exhibition of new paintings realized over the last year by Ellen Siebers. Based in Hudson, New York, Siebers paints to capture the essence of a feeling, with compositions that combine elements of still life, landscape, and figure painting in a unique visual language. Working through multiple compositions at once, Siebers approaches painting as an act of discovery. Her atmospheric works reveal themselves over the course of several months, often finding inspiration in a variety of sources from life or media—a photograph, a film still, a figure in the clouds—but never ending there. Each work begins with an act of observation, but Siebers embraces the act of departure that follows. United by a considered attention to surrounding conditions of light, color, form, and texture, her works bear witness to the state of presence.
