Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seattle artist Margie Livingston<\/a> makes sculptural objects out of paint, pouring gallons of acrylic to form skins that she hangs on nails, drapes over pegs, leans against the wall, piles like discarded laundry, and cuts into planks. Her paint is both object and subject\u2014it may be a minimal abstract shape that stretched over an armature becomes a table, or it may seem like flesh but resemble a net or wooden paneled wall. The dichotomy between object and subject creates seductive, visceral, and mysterious works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Livingston states: \u201cLike the organic, sensual physicality of works by artists Lynda Benglis and Eva Hesse, my relationship with the draped paintings is physical, body to body. They exist in real space, rather than the illusional space of painting. As I must stroke the paint to shape it, it becomes so much like skin that the gesture is akin to a caress. I also play with the weight of painting, letting gravity reveal the material\u2019s flexibility so the works allow painting\u2019s historical significance to reflect back on itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
