From the Catalogue of Lost Parts | Marjorie Hellman
Focusing on the dichotomy between painting as a flat object and depicting dimensional forms, Lots Parts by local RI artist Marjorie Hellman examines contrasting colors and illusions of abstraction. A process involving close observations of the natural and artificial world, this collection of paintings and drawings applies the simplicity of line and the complexities of color usage.
