Furnace – Art on Paper Archive is pleased to present Hermine Ford: Normally Invisible featuring new paintings and works on paper, on view May 7 – June 12. The opening reception for the artist, is Saturday, May 7th from 4 - 6pm.
Inspired by ancient mosaics, Ford creates shaped canvases and works on paper that reflect some of the timeless imagery she has gathered on her travels. Especially her visits to Rome and her interest in the layering of historic remnants created by past civilizations that have fueled her work for decades.
In Normally Invisible, three shaped canvases are shown in context with a selection of works on paper, highlighting the lively exchange between the two mediums.
The works on paper are unique with splashes of color and spontaneous energy. They stand in contrast to the shaped canvases whose forms evoke shards of broken tile and establish a fractured space. Ford’s paintings present like objects, found or discarded, with dashes of vibrant color and exuding an inner glow.
