BARBARA ELLIS
I’m always surprised by the images that demand (and succeed) to be expressed! As I continue to expand through this introspective work, my hope is that the work motivates the viewer to think about unexplored ideas in new ways.
-Barbara Ellis
Re-entry I by Barbara Ellis is one of two large oil paintings by the artist in a similar restrained palette on view at GreenHill. Ellis’s sweeping brush strokes laid down in wide, cross-hatched washes weave in and out creating a dynamic field. The picture plane’s vaporous surface evokes the shifting terrains of glaciers or cloud formations. It is punctuated by three apertures. A central opening reveals rich chartreuse underpainting and invites the viewer’s eye to enter into and savor the artist’s gestural dance.
