Someday Painting

CYNDI ROGOFF is a successful contemporary abstract artist. Her colourful canvases have a suggestive presence that evoke intense visual pleasure by appealing directly to the senses. Cyndi's deep understanding of the materials and techniques is reflected within her finely-tuned artworks. The works reflect subtleties of colour, light, luminosity and form. They are multi-layered and richly textured with complex under-painting. The gestural movements in her paintings have what can be described as a 'lyrical fluency'. She incorporates bold painterly brushstrokes and dripped paint together with thinned veiled stains to create shifting layers of colour. This effect is emphasized by the use of numerous applications of paint where seemingly spontaneous compositional elements appear and disappear. The artworks each have their own distinctive feeling and often contain sensitive detailed markings that have been directly engraved or drawn into the paint. Various uses of mixed media and embedded metals are also intricately woven within the layers.
