Maro Gorky - A Tuscan Landscape
Long & Ryle
2/22/2012 to 3/24/2012
11- 6pm
Maro Gorky lives in a landscape where the hills have been shaped into shields of vineyards and olive groves. Like the Byzantine icons and mosaics, where the flat gold background represents infinity so that the figures walk forward and do not recede, Gorky does not see the dimension of her paintings as flat. She sees the canvas as a sail on which she can trace the shapes that surround her, like emblems on the sails of maritime explorers.
