Featured Artist: Maria Lobo

October 8, 2015

The work of Maria Lobo could be described as simply as intentional mark-making. However this description would undermine the quiet complexities which lie in the transition between the positive and negative space in her art. Bold, confident and soothing, each mark expresses a calm objective marrying order and chaos, light and dark, even Western and Eastern philosophy. "Often my focus is on painting the background, or negative space, not the foreground. I attempt to organize abstraction, or chaos. My forms seem to float in space, but through their placement, I am creating balance. By patterning and by the rendering negative space around the forms, I somehow encapsulate them. I am creating forms in specific reference to their placement, depth and spatial relations to one another. Viewers might ask themselves: what is the form and what is the ground? This is at times intentionally ambiguous. I tend to vacillate between both dimensions. My search for balance within the painting's own depth, surface and vertical-horizontal orientation may come from my search for my own placement in this world: geographically, socially, ethnically, culturally, in space and time." -Maria Lobo
