“Fluid” by Daniella Painter
Charcoal on paper, 18” x 24”
Daniella Painter graduated with a BFA in drawing and painting and psychology. Influenced by social prejudices, Daniella uses observational study, thin layers, and line variation to play with realistic and idealized perceptions.
“Fluid belongs to a series that began as an abstract expression of the body. However, the work evolved into a controlled and methodical study of material and process. Using powdered charcoal, water, and my own body allowed for a real sense of experimentation and discovery. Each step though, was calculated, analyzed and repeated. In this respect, I resonate with Rosalind Krauss’ critique of Avant Garde. Concepts such and repetition and originality are neither conflicting nor binary – they are much more fluid than that. Repetition gives birth to innovation.” – The Artist
