EXPRESSIONISM. Dan Cameron commented that Ann Purcell had extended the “metaphoric velocity of her pieced paintings” into paintings themselves, in which she developed new methods of applying “thin lines, drips, oilstick calligraphy, and controlled skeins of color that act as chromatic splinters.” Observing that within a picture, these elements served to hold the frontal plane in place, Cameron stated how Purcell was able to balance “the stable pictorial structure with a new sense of disorderliness.” -Dan Cameron, Arts Magazine 1983 [Ann Purcell “Mahjong” 1983 acrylic, gold, oil and fabric on canvas, 66 x 72 inches] #annpurcell #expressionism #caravanseries #womenartists #nmwa #corcoran #mahjong #collageart #installationart #abstraction #abstractart #acrylicpainting #nycart #chelseagalleries #dancameron #artreview #artsmagazine #contemporaryart #artistrepresentation #berrycampbell (at Berry Campbell) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EwTd6lv1Q/?igshid=lgelzgga4uvv
