Maxine Solomon: From Void to A Dream November 6, 2012

In the realm of abstraction, the paintings of Maxine Solomon elevate the viewer the experience of poetry. It is work of emotion and suggested metaphors through the use of color and emotive brushstrokes. Solomon uses both additive and subtractive processes to create a heavily textured and tortured surface, often obliterating and sometimes delineating the subject matter. The resulting canvases sometimes contain as many as 30 layers of paint. Her images are drawn from her experiences working and traveling throughout the world.
