How do you create an experience of place?
Providence, RI – February 18, 2018 – Three women artists explore different processes to create paintings that evoke a sense of space and place. Sandra DeSano Pezzullo, Anne Wert & Susan Dansereau are three New England artists who are exploring landscape painting and asking the question, ???How do you create an experience of place????
Pezzullo, a RI native, works in oils scraping, staining, and intuitively layering rich hues to create imagined landscapes.??
Wert, whose watercolors have recently exploded, describes how she fell in love with the medium, ???because it encourages painting quickly to create impressions that communicate the moment???.
Dansereau, Providence Art Club???s youngest member, creates paintings that are atmospheric, one can almost feel the humidity separating us from the ridge of palms trees, or feel the vast space between where we stand on the statehouse lawn and the looming height of the building???s pearly dome.
???I???m seeking to really understand atmospheric space. The concept is to reproduce that feeling of being in a thick atmosphere like a foggy day or viewing distant lands from a mountaintop??? – Dansereau
