The Catena Series began in Summer 2020, when I resurrected an 8’x12’ painting from 2012 that was comprised of eight 48”x36” birch panels. I spend a month outside in the beautiful Berkshire sun stripping and sanding the panels to breathe new life into the surfaces. I had been contemplating how the pace of life had changed during the Covid Pandemic. I came upon the word Catena, which means related moments or an inter-locking chain. The word Catena spoke to me about my search to find meaning and beauty through my painting process. “Catena” seemed to describe the suspended life I was living. My use of alchemy and the transformation of materials continued in the Catena Series. The Series searches for reconciliation, contentment and beauty. Catena 7 incorporates the Tantric form and the horizon into a magic realism seascape – looking toward an aspiring future

« The alchemical and physical processes of painting are the foundation of my creative practice. » Virginia Bradley is a distinguished American contemporary, abstract painter. Bradley's research into natural phenomena, geological and oceanographic formation serves as a starting point for her abstract works. Like an alchemist she transforms the work through the use of diverse materials and physical acts. Virginia adds and subtracts into the painting surface by pouring paint, sanding, drawing and printing while simultaneously experimenting with chemical reactions to the surface. Thus her studio becomes a laboratory for experimentation, an athanor for the interaction of diverse materials. She repeats these processes until the piece evolves into a finished state of multiple luminous layers, referring to water, the richness of the air and the unknown and attaining a higher level of physicality and contemplation.
