SUMNER

Paintings by Ashleigh Sumner

February 13th through April 5th, 2010

Opening reception:
Saturday, January 13th
7 to 10 pm

In her paintings, Sumner attempts to incorporate the implied visual of densely populated urban landscapes with the raw, gritty texture of industrial areas. With a palette knife, she applies several layers of bold color by scraping paint across wood panels or canvas. She then incorporates strong accents of black through out the piece. Finally, resin is introduced into the process to render added depth and to convey a modern, veneer surface of the artwork.
