Touch Virtual Tour & Talk
Cerulean Arts is pleased to present the exhibition TOUCH curated by Anda Dubinskis and featuring the work of Betsey Batchelor, Cindy Stockton Moore and Lauren Whearty. The artists selected by Dubinskis strive to make sense of the world by creating something palpable from the ineffable through the touch of painting. Betsey Batchelor, a seductive colorist, intuits the invisible and brings a deliberate, contemplative, deep space into view. Cindy Stockton Moore creates her own inks from foraged natural materials and depicts the occupiers of space in a mutable medium, re-creating the constant shifts and changes found in nature. Lauren Whearty’s exuberant marks and vivid colors skitter across the slick surface of YUPO paper and record modern conveniences as well as traditional still life objects. In curating the exhibition, Dubinskis included both finished pieces and exploratory works. By bringing the studio process into the gallery setting, she hopes to reveal something of the journey each artist takes toward a finished piece.
