ALICE STOLER
Artistic Statement
Patches of color and texture comprise the forms which make up my paintings. I use color, collage, and experiment with methods of applying paint. Color is applied with the use of brushes, sponges, rags and pallet knives. The canvas or paper ground is often altered by the use of sand or gesso to create textural interest.
I recreate images from an accumulation of memories. I paint intuitively and rarely have a preconceived idea. The viewers become active participants in the work before them.
Thus I do not dictate the work of art. It is instead interpreted by the eye of the viewers from the juxtaposition of color and design set before them.
