New Work
Mimi Oritsky

April 29 – May 24, 2003

Oritsky’s abstract landscapes originate from drawings taken from an aerial vantage point and rendered in oil in the studio. Flown over the Pennsylvania countryside in a small-craft airplane, the artist finds the source material for her images in the startling visual relationship between altitude and groundlevel. Level horizon, deepening perspective and right angles are lost through the verticality of her viewpoint. Her intention is to recreate “the particular quality of ‘airspace’ and translate it into paint.”
