I’ve discover her work at Chicago Art Fair 2006 internet site. I was attracted by the subject of her paintings and the way how she painted it.
The consequences of the war between human beings: death, refugees, hungry, devastation... I’ve tried to buy a painting what it was at the beginning of my collection and I did not know all the details to be in this art world. The works were really very big and I was scare about transport prices an at the end I lost the opportunity to buy it.
Time to time I check my favorites artists and this time I fall in her photo work. This combination within the technique used in paintings and the scenario from a photo. Her serie about the sames subjects it is really strong.
I’ve bought this two photo because of they have the same scenario: the Washington Square Plaza, but with two diferent consequences: the death of a soldier and the refugees caused by the war. One place, two consequences, the same indiference between the people in the scenario.
Thanks to Grace I had also the opportunity to buy her painting Camps. In only 61x76cm you can see the consequences of war, yes in strong colors, very hot colors that close us to the people in this tents. We do not seen them, but we can feel the desert, the hot weather , the oppression and the desperation of this poor people. Probably one of her best works.
