| Artist's Statement: | |
| An artist with a unique vision, Dvorah has explored all the possible ways to express and communicate through painting the search for an understanding of experience and life. Beginning at first as a figurative painter, she then dove into the world of the imagination. These early explorations were a gestural abstraction of the figure in a kind of primeval landscape, with the intention of expressing a pure experience - psychological, emotional or spiritual - as it exists in the realm of the mind. From there she further detached from the figure creating forms of cloudlike energy, again with the intention of creating states of mind and being. These developed into more colorful, landscape-like images, a kind of abstract impressionism, and later they became darker and more influenced by abstract expressionism, with the use of thick paint and energetic brushwork. She then chose to reurn to the figure as her source of inspiration, and in these canvases she focuses on a social irony within an urban context. Her richly colored palette and fluid brushwork create a spontaneity rarely seen today. This spontaneity belies a studied eye for what happens all around us. Ms Silverstein transcends reality through her knowledge of the human mind and its relationship to the formal issues in painting. Scenes frm New York, imaginative still lives, elegant figure drawings and compelling portraits form this most recent body of work."I have always been driven by the need to know why things are the way they are, to uncover the truth lying hidden beneath the surface of reality. My intent here is to reconstruct the abstract into a picture of reality, or in reverse, to portray abstract concepts as they exist within the context of reality. Something that will encompass all levels of experience, from the instinctual to the conceptual, as they are expressed through the functional concerns of everyday life. It is a humanist vision, straight from the heart, illuminated by reason, freed by knowledge." | |
