March 26, – May 17, 2015
Reception and Artist Lecture: Thursday, April 16, 6:30–8 pm
Nan Runde’s work is both abstract and atmospheric. This exhibition presented work from two series, Litho Crayon Series and Egg Tempera Series.
Her litho crayon drawings emerge from the paper from thousands of marks. Similarly the egg tempera paintings require patience to master the process. Runde’s images are large, layered and rich in density of greys and color. Her images require an immense amount of time and fortitude. The two series are similar by their abstract nature, their ability to emerge from the surface, and the use of natural forms. But, they are different in the way Runde plays with text and symbols creating a unique form of writing for her paintings.
Nan Runde discussed her two processes along with her connection to nature, dreams and imagination.
