The Atlantic Works Gallery is pleased to begin the summer season with a solo exhibition of current works by Nataysha Lindemann.
Nataysha Lindemann's intensely colored, highly structured works, range in size from 11" x 14"drawings to substantially larger 56" x 64" paintings.
Playing on the inherent juxtaposition of organic mark making and geometric patterning, a unique abstraction is born. One that mimics the meeting of the natural world and the constructed, of the real and the superimposed. Color and line copulate with the garish intensity of meeting for the first time. The organic marks zigzag back and forth, between some hybrid of flora and fauna, all while maintaining the strictly imposed grid format of formal abstraction.
As intense as Nataysha Lindemann's paintings are, her drawings maintain a surprising quietness. Consisting mainly of graphite, the paper surface is worked, repeatedly with the application of layer of lines, and then carefully erased so that only residue is left. The effect is a soft image indicative of space, and transient elements such as the flow of water and the pressure of air.
Nataysha Lindemann currently lives and works just outside of Boston. She studied at the School of Visual Arts in New York and The Art Institute of Boston.
