October 30 - November 27, 2021
From Front Gallery:
“Front Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Erica Whitney. “Intentions” will open with a reception from 6-8 PM on Saturday October 30th. The show will run through November 27 with gallery hours every Saturday from 3-5 or by appointment.
We look at Erika Whitney’s paintings and assume we are looking at pure intuition—visceral bodily responses. Whitney doesn’t always know where she is headed when starts a painting, but she often starts with a vision, and vision comes from a thoughtful place. This comes through in the work even when she gives herself over to process. It is emotion and logic sharing a plane.
When asked about her process Whitney explains that it can sometimes be a whirlwind and sometimes it can come from careful consideration. “I look for a combination of controlled and uncontrolled, intentional and spontaneous.”
If a painting consists of layers of spontaneous and intentional decisions, it is much like a life. For Whitney, these paintings serve as reminders that we are accountable for every decision we make, whether deliberate or fortuitous.”
