December 2017, Emblems and Allegories by Phyllis Gorsen

Phyllis Gorsen at the Chris White Gallery, Wilmington, Delaware, December, 2017

Phyllis Gorsen exhibited at the Chris White Gallery in Wilmington, Delaware in December, 2017.

“I have painted in several styles and mediums over the years, primarily in figurative, collage and abstract work. In my recent paintings, I focus on how the commonality of shared patterns connects people together. I explore this through a duality of abstraction and representation. The abstraction comes in the form of vibrant and dynamic geometric compositions that upon further exploration reveals elements of the familiar and commonplace. I consider these representational components; some are recognizable and others that are symbolic interpretations of various facets of the human experience such as language, technology, spirituality, environment, culture, etc. These components are surrounded and injected with the strong lines on the canvas which bridge and connect them together, illustrating how these elements form a shared, communal bond. The titles also play an important role in telling the story of each piece. My hope is that viewer is captivated by the visual allure of the surface to allow for a slow unveiling of the meaning of the work.”
