FRIDAY ART

“Purple Tulips”, an oil painting by Georganna Lenssen is a new addition to the Art of the Garden, the current exhibition at The Trippe Gallery. The paintings of contemporary artist Georganna Lenssen explore nature through the language of colors, textures and marks. Her process is chaotic, bold, responsive and intuitive. It is a highly interactive process — a “trialogue” between the subject, herself and the work. She frequently scrapes down entire paintings repeatedly, not to obliterate what lies beneath, but to merge visual threads and ideas, reconstructing a different kind of organization. This cycle of creation and destruction disrupts tendencies. It forces an unexpectedness, deepening the sophistication and complexity of both image and narrative. Within the chaos and turbulence of Lenssen’s process lies an ordered transmutation of time, discovery and interpretation of content. “Purple Tulips” is a wonderfully expressive painting that fully embodies Lenssen’s techniques. “Art of the Garden” exhibition continues through May. The Trippe Gallery is located at 23 N Harrison St in the heart of historic Easton.
