Sharon Horvath

On view from November 2, 2012 through January 6, 2013, The Drawing Room is pleased to present an exhibition of paintings by Sharon Horvath.

Sharon Horvath’s sumptuous new paintings are inspired by the majestic expanse of physical space – land, water and air – which one experiences at the ocean’s edge and under the sparkle of a starry sky. Even the rear view mirror has caught her attention as it offers a particular, shaped experience of space, landscape and the night sky.

Horvath’s ongoing fascination with the nature of painted and real space has been enhanced by her experimentation with the expressive qualities of pure pigments derived from ground minerals. Painting in a milky medium she concocts from powdered pigments suspended in polymer, Horvath’s paint seems to flow with little evidence of tools or preconceptions. Integrated within her painting and within a technique that is all her own, her ink drawings meander across the surface creating a lacy template of graphic detail.
