Also on Friday night I went to the open MFA studios where I was very inspired and impressed with most of the work, but I also felt let down at the same time in other cases. During this evening that was extremely crowded and slightly uncomfortable, I stumbled upon Adrienne Tarver's studio. She is a painter who also works with paper and fiber on canvas. I enjoyed her work because it was figural but not just representational paintings. She used the silhouettes of the figures, set in a specific setting (ex. a girl sitting on a swing in a yard) and within the the silhouette she depicts a pattern. These images take you back to your childhood and memories arise. Its really quite nice.
