Doris Marten
Layers Object No. 16 by Doris Marten - Abstract painting, minimalist, lines, ink

2021

About the Item

Layers Object No. 16 is a unique ink drawings on Alu-Dibond painting by contemporary artist Doris Marten, dimensions are 41 × 91 cm (16.1 × 35.8 in). The artwork is signed, sold unframed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Between a two-dimensional image and a three-dimensional object, the Layers Series lies. The idea of illusion in the painted lines is being questioned by the artist. Only seven colors are used in the palette, but the way they are placed together gives the impression that there are many more. While some pieces in the series are representations of actual objects, others in the series create the appearance of three dimensions through the juxtaposition of colours with the geometric forms (the layers) made up of lines and colours. Doris Marten investigates how colours are perceived and how they affect one another through the straightforward use of lines. Lines highlight each colour individually and vividly depict how one colour influences another. The artist has amassed a profound understanding of colour, which enables her to produce optical illusions, motion-based impressions, and intense variations in light.

  • Calm Before - Text Based Contemporary Abstraction, Red and Black
    By Vivian Liddell
    Located in Gilroy, CA
    "Calm Before," is a text based contemporary abstraction by artist Vivian Liddell. This piece is built with washes of ink layered up leaving detailed forms through the piece inviting viewers to take it in up close. Liddell often walks the line between contemporary art and craft. Working to bring materials that are traditionally labeled as "craft" and lesser into the contemporary conversation. Mixing craft with one of the most respected and oldest forms of fine art, painting, really encourages the viewer to view the two on the same playing field. The idea of craft is settled into these gestural, layered works, constantly critiquing contemporary culture. This piece is currently unframed, but framing options are available. For more works follow our storefront at Gallery 1202. "As a painter, I often work on large, raw canvas. My abstract paintings merge formal painting and “bad” craft to challenge the high-low separation of materials (and related gender hierarchies) that have traditionally been present in the art world. The monotypes are like a calligraphic practice. I use them as a warm up to allow me to feel confident with a gesture before committing it to a larger scale. I work in layers, often sewing or incorporating fabric into the finished piece, and incorporate chance into each stage of my process. The text/titles often come from song lyrics, local radio commercials, and news headlines. I edit these snippets and piece them together to reflect my interpretation of current politics and social norms, especially as they relate to gender.

The idea of craft is settled into these gestural, layered works, constantly critiquing contemporary culture. Vivian Liddell is an interdisciplinary artist in Athens, Georgia who works with painting, fiber and craft techniques, sculpture, printmaking, photography, animation and sound. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, she received her BFA from the University of Georgia and her MFA from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Liddell’s work has been featured in solo and curated exhibitions throughout the United States, including at the Wiregrass Museum of Art, the Macon Museum of Arts and Sciences, and Trestle Gallery in Brooklyn. In 2019 she had two solo exhibitions of her “Men” series at the Versa Gallery in Chattanooga and 621 Gallery in Tallahassee, with a review of the Versa exhibition in BURNAWAY and was recently picked by Berlin curator Tina Sauerlaender as a featured artist on Foundwork. Liddell hosts a podcast (Peachy Keen) as an extension of her art practice, interviewing women on art and the South. She is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at the University of North Georgia...
