FRANCESCA DIMATTIO - Table Setting And Flower Arranging - Salon 94 - NYC


last chance: through April 21st 2012

DiMattio’s investigations into the hierarchies of painting have long dominated her work.  Using the canvas as her de-facto stage,  she creates intricately layered scenes where architecture, furnishings, and figures collide in a continually shifting plane.  Her works  are structured like post-modern quilts.  Space and subject are carved out by juxtaposing different swatches of color, pattern, and  form into a fragmented, but choreographed whole.  No priority is given to one style of painting over another, and the artist  moves freely between illusionism, figuration and abstraction with seeming abandon.
