Prismatic Optical Phenomena
Seven Painted Canvases Attempting to Convey the Unification of Parallel Landscapes Through the Prism of Her Inner Self
from the 2017 Fall Exhibition by Kimberly Trowbridge at 24HR MART
24HR MART is thrilled to exhibit a series of large-scale oil paintings by acclaimed PNW artist, Kimberly Trowbridge. Trowbridge is passionate about perceiving color relationships in nature and approaches the painting process as a means for self-discovery. As an artist-in-residence at 24HR MART, Trowbridge spends her time collecting color “data” from the landscape in the form of plein-air paintings. She describes the process of painting from nature as a way of “calibrating [her] senses to a particular, prismatic tune.” Her plein-air works become the documents of this “tuning” process, and she uses them to inform the development of her massive, in-studio paintings.
