ABOUT THE ARTWORK

If a Painter or Poet Loves You, You Can Never Die ​In these gestural abstract works the painting, the marks - the color of blood, of passion, stand next to, yet apart from one another and the separated figures, or “entities” seem to float in space. The space between implies Silence. Isolation. Sadness. Loneliness. The entities seem to drift apart, 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, both my own and excerpts from the poems of Catalan poet Salvador Espriu, 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. Hanging hardware installed and included. No frame necessary, unless preferred. Ships from United States.

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.**
