Gena Loseto: Branching

Opening Reception: March 11 6-8pm

Show runs through April 23, 2022

I am connected to my deepest self when experiencing the awe and mystery of our natural world. Installed memories of dappled light through draping trees dwell within. In an effort to escape a culture drowning in technology, I continue to find myself called to the natural environment, and thus stirred to translate the overwhelming textures, colors and patterns that naturally surround us.
I chose Yupo paper as the platform for my watercolor and gouache paintings of trees. Paint is applied wet on wet and manipulated with brushes and rags, left to dry, lifted in some areas, while layered in others. The surprises that surface in the drying process are often unpredictable and exciting to experience.
