When life imitates art 💕 Loving the use of color and bold strokes in Molly Herman’s work, “Sylvia’s Saga”, 2017, oil on linen, 50 x 88 (diptych). — On the subject of mark-making, Herman says, “my process is a search to find alchemy in the mix between a basic unit: a mark or stroke and how it transitions to the pictorial, yet remains a painted moment”. — “Lady Painters: Inspired by Joan Mitchell” on view at Second Street Gallery until July 19. 📸 @jesuspinophotography — #ssg #joanmitchell #mollyherman #nycartist #newyorkcity #cville #charlottesville #cvilleartists #groupexhibition #contemporaryart #artgallery #ladypainters #abstractart #painting #oilpainting
