The beautiful and extraordinary work of Lisa Call is on at exhibit at the Art Quilt Gallery in New York, a gallery committed to contemporary art quilts.
Structures #143 by Lisa Call
* copyrighted by the artist
Lisa Call’s is imaginative, edgy, bold, and comforting. Comforting in that the forms she uses to construct her work are patterns that we experience in our minds, like the things we want to say and do but never do. Another way of saying this is that Lisa says in her art what we (me) wish I had said.
“Lisa Call creates bold geometric contemporary textile paintings where color is of primary importance and is combined intuitively, often in unexpected ways, employing a unique palette of cotton fabrics she hand dyes. Her work is abstract but draws elements from many places: her love of the colors and geological forms of the southwest, repetition, pattern, and an attraction to human-made structures for containment such as fences and stone walls. Extensive stitching on the surface adds rich texture to her finished work.”… The Art Quilt Gallery.
Lisa’s work is bold in that she is not looking to trick or confuse the viewer. Each piece, says what needs to be said, simply and beautiful. The Show will be up until Oct 20th.
