PC2011.19.1

 

Born in Vienna, Lilly Fenichel studied art and lived in California before moving to New Mexico full time in 1981. Throughout her life, she continually innovated, materially and stylistically. Despite her roots in abstract expressionism, her work feels utterly contemporary.

 

Created by pouring oil-based glazes onto bright white synthetic paper, the glowing colors in this work are allowed to run and fuse together in places, yet assert their formal integrity as organic shapes of pure pigment arranged with an eye toward total harmony. This kind of casual mastery reveals her six decades of art production.

PC2011.19.1

 

Nacida en Viena, Lilly Fenichel estudió y vivió en California antes de trasladarse a Nuevo México de forma permanente en 1981. Durante toda su vida siguió innovando en cuanto a materiales y estilo. Aunque se formó en el expresionismo abstracto, su obra tiene un aire absolutamente contemporáneo.

 

Creada al verter esmaltados a base de aceite sobre papel sintético blanco con brillo, los colores resplandecientes de esta obra discurren libremente y se fusionan en zonas concretas, no sin expresar una integridad formal como formas orgánicas de pigmento puro con el objetivo de lograr una armonía total. Esta clase de dominio informal revela las seis décadas de experiencia de la artista en la producción artística.
