Series inspired by wine label created by me for "Vi Brisat" - Natural wine from Vins Petxina in Catalunya. Abstract works inspired by the Catalan landscape and vineyards in the wine-growing region of Tarragona. Earth. Sky. Sun. Mountains. Wine. Multiple layers of pigmented and diluted hues cascade and collide across the linen surface. To some extent, collisions are intentional, but I also introduce the element of chance and unpredictability – purely gestural and expressive marks. Manipulating one color to render the effects of light, transparency, and motion. The reduction of color and thinly layered paint draw attention to the material substance of the painting so that the smallest details become important. The linen texture – the weave and “imperfections” in the material – ultimately become part of the work. This gives the work body, physical presence, and object quality. The different degrees of density result in varying nuances of light within the painting – areas which reveal a certain depth. Hints of land, clouds, and other forms seem to appear – nuances which arise from the painting process – perhaps to be viewed as articulating remnants of vague memories. Signed on reverse. Painted on Clear-Primed Belgian Linen Canvas. Medium-toothed natural weave texture. Warp-resistant pine stretchers. Can be hung unframed. Back staples easily removed for re-stretching.

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.**
