Lorraine Shemesh is an American artist whose practice focuses on painting, drawing, and ceramics. [1] [2] [3] Since the early 1990s, she has created investigations of the human form that balance contemporary realism with an abstract expressionist concern for gesture, rhythm and pattern. [4] [5] [6] Her best-known series depict active swimmers in pools viewed from above and underwater or intertwined, costumed dancers set in ambiguous, compressed spaces. [7] [8] [9] In the 2000s, her work has increasingly moved towards abstraction, with figures dissolving into faithfully rendered optical phenomena or geometric patterning. [10] [11] [12] Describing these qualities, Art in America critic Jonathan Goodman wrote, "being true to nature enables Shemesh to record a dazzling array of painterly gestures, some of them squarely within the tradition of Abstract Expressionism … Her use of abstract effects in the service of representation is striking and makes her art complex." [1]

Contents

Shemesh’s work has been exhibited at institutions including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, [13] Bronx Museum of Art, National Academy of Design, [14] Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston (ICA), Museum of the City of New York, [15] and Musée de Carouge (Switzerland). [10] Her work belongs to the public collections of the National Academy Museum, DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, and Rhode Island School of Design Museum, among others. [16] [14] [17]

Early life and career

Shemesh was born in Jersey City, New Jersey. [18] [19] As a child she studied ballet, an experience that would inform her later artwork, which explores human movement. [6] [19] She was classically trained in art in a multidisciplinary program at Boston University, earning a BFA in painting in 1971 and a summer fellowship at the Tanglewood Institute with painter Philip Pearlstein. [19] [12] [20] She undertook graduate studies at the Tyler School of Art (MFA, 1973) in both Philadelphia and Rome, where her inspirations included artists such as Chaïm Soutine, Richard Diebenkorn and Edward Hopper. [19]

After graduating, Shemesh began exhibiting and taught at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and Amherst College between 1973 and 1981. [19] [18] She appeared in group shows at ICA Boston and the DeCordova Museum and solo shows at RISD (1976) and Alpha Gallery in Boston (1978) [21] [19] [10] before joining the noted Allan Stone Gallery, [22] [23] where she had eight solo exhibitions between 1983 and 2009. [24] [25] [1] [5] She has also had solo exhibitions at the Butler Institute of American Art (2006), [26] Gerald Peters Gallery (New York and Santa Fe; 2016, 2019 and 2024), [3] [6] and Dartmouth College (2021). [27]

Work and reception

Shemesh has worked in varied figurative modes and genres throughout her career, over time moving closer to abstraction. [2] [28] [12] Her Pool and Dancer series are grounded in classical interests in human anatomy, musculature and movement. [6] [7] They explore the complex choreography of human connection, universal experiences of temporality and mortality, and relationships between the body and space, tension and tranquility, disjuncture and harmony. [28] [29] [14] She balances these interests against formal concerns regarding gesture, abstract form, pattern, surface and paint handling. [1] [6] [28] In later work and exhibitions, she has brought paintings, drawings and ceramics into dialogue, investigating movement and pattern through common motifs and related techniques that illuminate her overall production. [3] [6]

Early work (1980s)

Shemesh's early work included figurative drawings and pictorial quilts, Hopper-esque cityscapes and interiors, and still-life tabletop groupings of food and everyday objects, such as beach balls, flip-flop sandals, rubber gloves and women’s bathing suits. [30] [31] [15] [2] Her still lifes consisted of graphite drawings and brightly colored oil paintings with a debt to Wayne Thiebaud that combined detailed, realist rendering with what Art in America's Carl Little called a sociocultural eye for excess and darker themes involving mortality, vulnerability and the "desperate sentimentality" of commonplace, non-elitist objects. [2] [30] [32] Examples of this work include a grouping of candy boxes (Three Hearts) and rows of footwear whose wandering laces and multi-hued designs Little likened to a school of upward-wriggling tropical fish (Bowling Shoes). [2]

"Painted Pools"

In the early 1990s, Shemesh turned to realistic, large-scale, immersive paintings of figures viewed from under water in swimming pools, often based on in-depth anatomical studies using dancers as models. [25] [33] [1] [7] At a distance, the paintings function as classical, figurative compositions of athletic figures—displaying observational powers critics compared to George Bellows's boxers—which close up dissolve into neo-impressionist investigations of pure light or lyrical abstraction. [10] [32] [8] They frequently employ anatomical foreshortening and the natural magnification caused by the changing undulation of water to energize the painting space, while exploiting the weightless quality of water to evoke bodily and out-of-body experience, transcendence of limitations, slowed time, dream and dance. [28] [12] [7] [34] Critics suggested that these expressive qualities opened the paintings to diametrically opposite interpretations, as sensually pleasurable experiences or as more disquieting dramas of disorientation, isolation, silence or danger, particularly in later works of solitary, often cropped or truncated figures whose faces are not visible. [12] [28]

The series initially engaged in a dialogue involving commonplace swimming-pool action above and below the water line, emphasizing the distortions of form and color on swimmers' submerged bodies (e.g., Twist and Shout and Tubes, 1993). [35] [25] [19] By the end of the decade, however, Shemesh was increasingly influenced by painters such as Jackson Pollock and loosened her control of the work, allowing the once-solid, contained figures to be fragmented into abstract optical stimuli—rippling striations, refracted details, and passages of blazing light and incandescent color that writers likened to the work of J. M. W. Turner and Claude Monet. [7] [36] [5] These paintings also adopted more geometric, circular compositional strategies, either in their figurative arrangements (Loop and Link, 1999) or by depicting inflatable tubes through which various body parts emerged (Ring, 1997). [28]

Shemesh's 2000 show, "Water-Works," consisted of large oils and gestural studies that critics wrote, demonstrated intense, equal interest in the twisting, bending and contorting of the athletic body and the distortions of never-still water. [1] [4] The New York Times's Ken Johnson described the paintings as swimmers with backs arched, grasping one another's feet to form "a living yin-yang symbol" around the canvas perimeter, "immersed in luminous, painterly flux." [4] [1] In the later shows "Breaking the Surface" (2006) and "Inside Out" (2016), Shemesh pushed the dissolution of form further in works such as Amoeba (2005), Spots (2012) and Crescent (2013), with figures completely melting into passages of pure abstract form, pattern and brushwork. [10] [37] [36] [3]

Dancers

In the late 2000s, Shemesh produced a new body of work, her "Intersections" series (2007–21): large works that departed from her buoyant Pool figures by depicting anonymous, coupled dancers locked in tight struggle or clutches (Tangle, 2010; Lock, 2009). [11] The paintings merged a realist attention to musculature and shadows with abstract geometry that some critics likened to the work of Sean Scully. [19] [29] [6] [11] Completely covered in hooded costumes of wide black and white bands, the dancers enacted elaborate, sensual poses that Shemesh set against hazy, neutral grounds and contained within shallow, near-claustrophobic spaces comprising the picture plane. [29] [5] The patterned costumes and juxtapositions of arms and legs synthesized the bodies into larger, seemingly imagined forms with a lively, rhythmic play of abstract shapes; the patterns were influenced by African textiles (e.g., Kuba cloth), as well as mechanical objects like bicycle gears, wheels, and zippers. [29] [5] Critics such as Donald Kuspit described paintings like Checkmate (2008) as "fraught with tension" and "unsettling" in their existential ambiguity. [9] [5] It depicted seated figures with bent heads and shoulders and pulled back arms—suggesting captivity—and tightly conjoined, outstretched legs spanning the center of the canvas that created a checkerboard pattern. [5]

The dancer paintings in Shemesh's "The Space Between Us" series (2014–21) employed warmer colors inspired by the landscape surrounding Santa Fe, New Mexico. [6] For example, Attached (2018) recalled adobe architecture, with a circular arrangement of intertwined figures set off by a surrounding burnt orange square and a blinding white center area underscoring the void between them; in Puzzle (2014), pale yellow and black patterns projected upon and behind a spiral-like figure arrangement suggested fragmented, jigsaw shadows and the diamond patterns of a harlequin costume, conveying a playful, free-associative quality. [6] Writer Molly Boyle contended that these canvases interrogated ideas of connection, "spark[ing] an exploration of the psychology of one human form in relation to another, and the relative distances and intimacies between the selves housed in each body." [6]

Ceramics

Beginning in 2016, Shemesh began to exhibit paintings and drawings with porcelain and stoneware vessels that shared preoccupations with pattern, geometry, twisting and interlocking forms, and metamorphoses of shape and light from figuration to abstraction. [3] [6] [8] She created the clay works using the time-consuming Japanese techniques of Nerikomi and Neriage, interlacings of different colored clays which are then hand built like layered geologic formations, or worked on a banding wheel. [3] [36] Works such as Black & White Tilted Vessel (2011) employed repetitions and deviations of patterns and flowing shapes seemingly lifted from her pool images, while Large Black & White Woven Neriage Cylinder (2017) engaged the dancer paintings. [3] [6] Describing the interaction between mediums, A. Bascove wrote, "the sensation of impassioned movement, often with a precarious edge, abounds … the gravitational pull of order into chaos becomes a meditation on the passage of time and the keenly felt circumstances of life itself." [3] Shemesh's ceramic work is featured in the book, Nerikomi: The Art of Colored Clay by ceramicist Thomas Hoadley. [38]

Recognition

Shemesh's work belongs to the public collections of the Butler Institute of American Art, Danforth Art Museum, DeCordova Museum, Hood Museum of Art, National Academy of Design, Museum of the City of New York, and Rhode Island School of Design Museum, among others. [39] [16] [17] [14] [36] She has received a Rhode Island State Council for the Arts grant, a distinguished alumni award from the School of Visual Arts, Boston University, and artist residencies from Dartmouth College, the Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts, and Yaddo. [27] [14] [40] In 2004, she was elected to the National Academy of Design. [41] [18]

Miriam Schapiro was a Canadian-born artist based in the United States. She was a painter, sculptor, printmaker, and a pioneer of feminist art. She was also considered a leader of the Pattern and Decoration art movement. Schapiro's artwork blurs the line between fine art and craft. She incorporated craft elements into her paintings due to their association with women and femininity. Schapiro's work touches on the issue of feminism and art: especially in the aspect of feminism in relation to abstract art. Schapiro honed in her domesticated craft work and was able to create work that stood amongst the rest of the high art. These works represent Schapiro's identity as an artist working in the center of contemporary abstraction and simultaneously as a feminist being challenged to represent women's "consciousness" through imagery. She often used icons that are associated with women, such as hearts, floral decorations, geometric patterns, and the color pink. In the 1970s she made the hand fan, a typically small woman's object, heroic by painting it six feet by twelve feet. "The fan-shaped canvas, a powerful icon, gave Schapiro the opportunity to experiment … Out of this emerged a surface of textured coloristic complexity and opulence that formed the basis of her new personal style. The kimono, fans, houses, and hearts were the form into which she repeatedly poured her feelings and desires, her anxieties, and hopes".

Judith Murray is an American abstract painter based in New York City. Active since the 1970s, she has produced a wide-ranging, independent body of work while strictly adhering to idiosyncratic, self-imposed constants within her practice. Since 1975, she has limited herself to a primary palette of red, yellow, black and white paints—from which she mixes an infinite range of hues—and a near-square, horizontal format offset by a vertical bar painted along the right edge of the canvas; the bar serves as a visual foil for the rest of the work and acknowledges each painting’s boundary and status as an abstract object. Critic Lilly Wei describes Murray's work as "an extended soliloquy on how sensation, sensibility, and digressions can still be conveyed through paint" and how by embracing the factual world the "abstract artist can construct a supreme and sustaining fiction."

Jackie Saccoccio was an American abstract painter. Her works, considered examples of gestural abstraction, featured bright color, large canvases, and deliberately introduced randomness.

Inspired by her own personal experiences and her cultural heritage, Kent creates paintings that explore the power and limitations of communication. Her work, influenced by her Mexican heritage, delves into the potentials and confines of language and reconsiders the modernist canon of abstraction. She likens her composition process to choreography, revealing an interconnectedness between language, abstraction, and painting. Kent's artwork showcases an evolving dialogue of space, matter, and time, resulting in a confluence of drawings, paintings, sculpture, and performance, blurring the lines between these mediums.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Wendy Edwards</span> American painter

Wendy Edwards is an American artist known for vibrant, tactile paintings rooted in organic forms and landscape, which have ranged from representation and figuration to free-form abstraction. Her work has been strongly influenced by the 1970s Pattern and Decoration movement and its embrace of ornamentation, repetition, edge-to-edge composition, sensuality and a feminist vision grounded in women's life experience. Critics note in Edwards's paintings an emphasis on surfaces and the materiality of paint, a rhythmic use of linear or geometric elements, and an intuitive orientation toward action, response and immediacy rather than premeditation. In a 2020 review, Boston Globe critic Cate McQuaid wrote, "Edwards's pieces are exuberant, edgy, and thoughtful … [her] sweet, tart colors and delicious textures make the senses a gateway into larger notions about women and men, creation and mortality."
