For those familiar with Sandi Seltzer Bryant’s painting, her upcoming exhibit at McMurtrey Gallery will come as quite a surprise. In an exciting and progressive shift away from the bright, vibrant palette she is so well known for, Ms. Bryant’s newest paintings are comprised of richer, subtler shades that challenged the artist, and reflect the most dramatic evolution of her work to date.
In addition to a change in palette, Ms. Bryant’s recent work incorporates a simplified range of shapes, primarily the straight line. Her previous series dealt with the abstraction of the Netherlands landscape, while this series is more removed from any identifiable subject matter. Also, more apparent than before, is the surface of the painting and layering.
