About Abstraction

By Elizabeth C. DeMarco

This work reflects my life as a woman who has lived half in one century and some in another, in visual form. Some paintings reflect the pure joy of putting brushes loaded with color on canvas. Others reflect love, birth, family, death, loss, women’s issues, aging, the angst of living in a world that is coming apart.

Abstraction uses the basic elements of art; line, color, shape form, space, value, rhythm, the mark, depiction and dissolution, so this form expresses far more than I can express in words or in realism.

Painting from a deeply visceral place is a process. Unconsciously a series develops as I work in my studio or in a workshop. The visual surprises I discover, by losing myself in a world without words, is filled with meaning and depth that I often don’t see. Until I do. It is my jazz, my poetry, but with paint.
