 Lucy Fradkin - "Plum Island" 25 x 20 inches Artist Statement:
Replete with references to the ancient frescoes and mosaics of the
Etruscans, Romans and Byzantines, my large-scale paintings on paper
capture a timeless moment through a contemporary eye. Inspired by
the sacred and folk arts and the vanishing art of hand-painted
signage, I create portraits of diverse individuals, gathering images
when traveling and at home in New York City. For the past 8 years I
have concentrated on a series of figurative works painted in oil,
gouache or acrylic gouache on paper. At times I incorporate collaged
decorative elements from a variety of sources, including old
catalogs, field guides and vintage books into the work. I use color
and pattern to evoke emotion and tell stories of daily life, where
the viewer is drawn into an intimate world. My work is clearly
inspired by the traditional, but the impact of personal history is
evident in the quiet presentation of issues of gender and race.
