Miller Gallery invites you to enter an immersive installation by Charleston artist, Marina Dunbar. This body of work, consisting of paintings and site specific installations explores spontaneity and control through the use of color, movement, shadow and space. To construct her paintings, Marina utilizes heat, wind and gravity while manipulating the surface of each piece, granting the works a sculptural quality. She shifts between working on panel to paper, exploring different perspectives with each process. The practice is both seductive and uncertain. Fluid media is sensitive to its environment; a deep breath, a slight shift of focus, a sound in the distance all impact the process causing paint to sway from the pre-determined path. The recent paintings bare resemblance to elements and movements of nature while simultaneously departing from literal representations. They pursue a desire to capture an intrinsic harmony in a way that is unpredictable. Marina’s interest in pushing the boundary of painting is ever-present. Shadows emerge in between layers of paint. The work is not confined to walls but impels its way onto the floor. The relationship between the viewer and the artwork is redefined as a sense of interconnectedness evolves.
