2020 Cahoon Museum Art Auction – Brush Off:
Exhibiting Artist: Adria Arch
“Twist, turn, spin, leap – these words evoke the movements that inform all my work. Expressing a physical experience of the world, my paintings and installations reach into the realm of both theater and child’s play.
My paintings reference decorative elements and colors typical of mid-20th century women’s clothing, comic books, and street art, I use pattern, shadows and bold colors with sharply defined edges that express assertion.
In my sculptural installations, I use simple and ephemeral materials. In an age of uncertainty and social isolation, this work invites physical engagement and suggests lightness and joy.” –Adria Arch
