*Louise Audrieth and Judith Johnson: Elements*

November 23 - 29, 2012

*Opening reception: November 23rd, 7pm*


Louise Audrieth

I really dove into fish with a splash in 2010, when my husband, a
photographer of tall ships, and I did a show here at Indi Go Artist Co-op
entitled Fish and Ships. My fish paintings were so well received that I
decided to keep swimming for a while. So here I am, back at Indi Go with a
new show with my daughter-in-law, Judith Johnson. Her oil pastels have an
organic, ethereal, airy quality, so with my watery watercolors, we decided
to call the show Elements.

As an artist, my first impetus for painting and drawing is because I enjoy
it. While watercolor is a challenging medium, it also lends itself to
spontaneity. I never know for sure when I start a painting exactly how it’s
going to turn out. Sometimes it has to get a little ugly before I can coax
some meaning out of the brushstrokes. When I use pen and ink, I have total
control. Using both watercolor and pen and ink brings me a sense of balance
as the control of the pen reigns in the chaos of watercolor.

The more fish I paint and draw, the more I find to explore, but it may soon
be time to move on to other subjects. There are countless creatures out
there still to capture on paper; not to mention landscapes, still lifes,
portraits, architectural studies . . . no shortage of material!

Hope you will enjoy the Elements Judy and I have to offer, and will
continue to follow us on our journeys into further creative endeavors.

The pieces I’ve created for “Elements” are a collection of work
highlighting the beauty we sometimes miss although it surrounds us.  My
pieces are organic and abstract, but still lend themselves to be
interpreted as “things.”  There are suggestions of cells, jet streams,
currents, erosions, landscapes, and even perhaps spacescapes!  The
ambiguity allows the viewer to project upon the work whatever they wish and
sort of nudges them to have more of an active role in viewing it.

This has been a labor of love and I hope you love it as much as I do!
