Dana Volkert Atmospheres

[new paintings curated by Carole Reed]

MaD Gallery, 6-9pm
39 Industrial Rd. Unit 16, Wainscott

This exhibition continues the artist’ s exploration of patterns and abstractions in the natural world. Dana creates compelling compositions with oil paint, abalone and various types of leafing. The resulting works are luminous abstractions with subtle texture and a minimalist feel.

Artists statement:

“I have always been inspired by the natural world and its colors and complexity. This new body of work has elements of sea, sky, stone and earth. After years of experimentation, I have created these paintings using a variety of techniques and mediums. They are a combination of composition and chemistry, resulting in multi-layered, textural and atmospheric effects.”
