Overview
Gabe Brown is a second generation artist living in the Hudson Valley. Her abstract paintings are found through the improvisational process of building layer upon layer to find the right combination of color, mark and light.
“Painting is a solitary act. This series of paintings and works on paper encapsulate an inert feeling of isolation and quiet calm. They are a direct reaction to the complexity of the world and how I identify with it. For me, there is no limit to the understanding and exploration of time and space. I am laser focused on the passage of time and compressed space in order to create a pause or shift to reflect the dualities that exist between nature and the human condition. Imbuing personal symbolism and elements that are not necessarily logical, these paintings are not only a nod to abstraction and landscape but ultimately to an alternate universe and the fourth dimension.” - Gabe Brown
