ARTIST RECEPTION & TALK ~ Saturday June 1, 1-4 pm
CKG is pleased to announce a long overdue exhibition of atmospheric abstractions by Washington-based Debra Van Tuinen. Debra’s intuitive and lushly layered painting is shown extensively across the United States as well as here at CKG. This new series was inspired by techniques and materials she began experimenting with during a recent trip to Japan. Sumi ink and traditional Japanese brushes allow Debra to work more intuitively.
“Light Revealed” is the organic evolution of my work into a new flowing form. In these pieces, I have opened up my relationship with paint and canvas, allowing myself a greater freedom to explore the movement and the sensual aspects of my work.
