Non-objective/abstract expressionism – 2012
Lila Lewis Irving, Ondine, 2007, acrylic on canvas.
Painting; with a brush, abstracting from recognizable forms, working with materials, color, forms, comes in all forms; on my blog Kngwarreye, Moran, Stamp, Marden, Steir, Kandinsky, and Basquiat and now Lewis Irving. Lewis Irving is 76 years old and a smallish but what is the perfect size gallery, the Art Gallery of Mississauga (youtube talks by Lewis Irving), retrospective is on view for a short time still: Con Spirito. The earth, water, mineral large paintings in the exhibit are for me the most successful. In a recent review, she was called the pouring queen! She also teaches and on youtube there are a few demonstrations of her technique. I see the meditative possibilities in her process.
