About The Artwork
This work is a continuation of the Catena /Series that was begun in Puerto Rico in the Spring of 2021.The Catena Series began in August 2020. I had been contemplating how the pace of life had changed during the Covid Pandemic. At moments time seemed to stand still and other times it seemed to race by. I came upon the word Catena, which means related moments or a chain. The word Catena spoke to my search to find meaning and beauty through painting. “Catena” seemed to describe the suspended life I was living. The Series is searching for reconciliation, contentment and beauty. Catena 1 is a mystic fog that slowly envelopes one in a “moment of solace”. Catena 3 has many layers of turmoil bonded together beneath a field of transparent silver ice reaching for a “moment of beauty”. Catena 2 is a landscape of upheaval through which one negotiates to find a path between the “moments of solace and beauty” of Catena 1 and 3. Catena 2 relates to the turmoil one needs to negotiate at times in life. 4 more panels of the Catena Series are currently in process, their destination is still unfolding.

« 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.
