Eva Faye, Transparent Drawings exhibition, at Rose Burlingham in New York February 23-April 10.
Eva Faye's Transparent Drawings is an exhibition of drawings made with translucent layers of vellum with delicately punctured patterns.
Closing reception Tuesday March 30th at 6-8.
"A soft northern light permeates Norwegian born artist, Eva Faye’s recent series of drawings on vellum. Translucent sheets of frosty grey white are punctured - delicately pinpricked, roughly slashed and cut in repetitive biomorphic patterns. They float in front of the wall so that the shadows cast through the openings become another element.
Fractal swirls shimmer in a state of silvery flux, micro universes in a process of formation and decomposition. The skin like vellum refers back to the body - under layers coated with swathes of deep color like blood pulsing beneath. She recombines layers in various ways that reveal and obscure - a palimpsest of transparent leaves.
Her subtle marks recall minimalism - Lucio Fontana and Eva Hesse, and such decorative arts as embossed metal and lace making. There is a move towards a sparer abstraction in her continued practice of drawing with light."
