ARTIST STATEMENT – ABSTRACTION
Elizabeth C DeMarco

My work reflects my life as a woman who has lived half in one century and two decades in another, in visual form. I am witness to my time. Some paintings reflect love, birth, family, death, loss, women’s issues, aging, passion, the angst of living in a world that is coming apart in ways I do not understand.
Some paintings reflect the pure joy of putting brushes loaded with color on canvas. The large scale of my work is an important element.
Music plays an elemental role in how I create the energy on canvas. It reflects my mood and provokes deeper and more powerful work.
Abstraction uses the basic elements of art; line, color, shape, form, space, value, rhythm, the mark, depiction and dissolution, so this form expresses far more than I am able to express in words or in realistic depictions.
Unconsciously a series develops as I work in my studio or in a workshop/residency. The visual surprises I discover, by losing myself in a world without words, are filled with meaning and depth that I often don’t see. Until I do.
Abstraction is my jazz, my poetry.
