ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Camins/Paths Camins, que ara s’esvaeixen. Camins, que hem de fer sols. Camins, vora les estrelles. Camins, que ara no hi són. Paths, that now vanish. Paths, we have to take alone. Paths, close to the stars. Paths, that are not there anymore. In these works the marks, the gestural “entities” stand alone, isolated in empty space. The empty space implies Silence. Isolation. Sadness. Loneliness. The entities seem to drift and float, representing a sort of incipient end – a past love story, perhaps a dream, a fading memory. Something that is slowly slipping and going away. The text (in Catalan language) adds another layer to the mystery of the “story.” Words are purposely scribbled and rubbed slightly away, leaving behind shadows and dirty marks, much like a messy, complicated relationship and fading memory. Strands of words, snippets of poetry remind us that we can never fully know the complete story and suggests the fleeting, fragmentary but enduring nature of Memory. These pieces are deliberately ambiguous, offering subtle suggestion - hinting at death, the passing of time, and exploring themes of loneliness, longing and desire. Painting on 100% Cotton / Acid-Free / Heavy-Duty 250g French paper. Antique White. Paper has rough-hewn edges lengthwise either side (please see detail photos). Signed on Reverse. Hanging Suggestion: Best in a Floating Frame so that paper edges remain visible. Thank you for looking at my work!

Cynthia Grow is a visual artist whose work explores the interstices between art and language. For nearly two decades, she has lived and worked between the U.S., Italy, and Spain. She is now based in her native Florida, working between there and extended periods in Barcelona. Influenced by her studies in literature, she works alternately between abstract paintings and text-based conceptual works on paper. She harnesses the same sources of inspiration for both – language and memory – and achieves an overall aesthetic signature marked by strong senses of mood, poetry, and atmosphere. Cynthia studied painting at Accademia d’Arte in Florence, Italy and has completed projects at residencies throughout Italy and Spain, as well as seminars at New York Studio School, National Academy School of Fine Art, and Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In addition to studio training, she completed a Graduate Certificate program in Modern and Contemporary Art, Connoisseurship, & the Art Market at Christie's Education New York and holds a Master's degree with a concentration in Modern Arts & Literature. Cynthia has exhibited works in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami as well as galleries and cultural centers in Europe including Florence, Venice, Rome, Milan, Madrid, and Barcelona. Her work has been featured in prizes, publications, and exhibitions across both continents. **Please Scroll Down to bottom of page to the Collections/Artist Series Tab to sort my work by Series.**
