LIZ BARBER LEVENTHAL Artist Spotlight
Liz Barber Leventhal’s paintings are layered bursts of energy that record experience. She draws from nature, memories and emotion when creating her volumetric configurations. A shape for Leventhal can occupy multiple spaces. Shapes can capture movement, light, create a metaphor, be both opaque and airy, thick and organic. The translucency achieved in Leventhal's work is in many ways the result of great experimentation. By mixing various materials, the artist creates hard and soft edges she later enhances or edits in order to achieve a balanced surface. The artist states, “I am constantly aware of light within my work, especially in regard to color pairings and interactions. I like to pour colors onto the canvas and watch what develops. I intuitively edit and modify each composition. My work commands the viewer’s visceral response, one that is not superseded by representational or abstract imagery nor technical analysis.” Above: River I · Mixed Media on Canvas · 30 x 40 inches Opposite: River II · Mixed Media on Canvas · 47 x 47 inches
