Abstract paintings by Laura Bidwa.
Laura Bidwa’s recent paintings are composed of layers of oil, latex, and spray paints on panels that she applies with a confident and exuberant brush. The simplicity of the background creates the clarity necessary to highlight the eccentric use of color.
“If it works, I can draw a viewer into looking at a painting very carefully, noticing the gesture of a brushstroke or a shape, how the paint’s edges change, how the surface of the oil paint is matte or slightly less matte or shiny, how the colors shift as the paint is thicker or thinner. I hope the viewer is able to be lost in looking, seeing one thing after another even in this simple object.” - Laura Bidwa
