Christine D’Epiro Abbott, Up and Down
acrylic on canvas, 54” x 78”
•
The artist on the piece: “As indicated by the title, “Up and Down,” the playful shapes represent ladders, a symbol of spiritual connection. Unlike the sturdy familiar object, these ‘ladders’ overlap in multiple directions, looking more like transparent film strips. Awash in vibrant color, the painting describes a vertical relationship that is both surprising and multi-faceted.”

Christine D’Epiro Abbott
“I create abstracted representations of my family’s domestic interior with printmaking methods. Inspired by the occupation of parenthood, the work starts as an observational drawing on a surface for printing, recording the spontaneous composition of belongings as they are found.
Abstraction and repetition emphasize movement and add to the complexity of the scene as a frequently visited lived-in space. In some areas, the recognizable depiction dissolves altogether into a formal pursuit of shape, color, and texture. The finished composition presents rooms that are both real and imagined, inviting the viewer into our ordinary and vibrant world.”
