"Reflection of Nature" solo exhibition by Maria C. Friscia at the Loft Artists Gallery

"Reflection of Nature"

Solo Exhibition of paintings by Maria C. Friscia

September 30 - October 29, 2017

Opening Reception

Sunday October 1, 4-6
PM

The Loft Artists Association presents an exhibition by artist Maria
C. Friscia. Her work is inspired by nature, a combination of her old and new
texture technique on canvas. She has painted extensively over the last year
developing her technique and exploring new themes and as a result been honored
with several awards.

"It is the effect of nature that is important and not the descriptive
detail of the landscape. I concentrate on the emotional expression or the
aesthetic ideas that forms in nature may suggest. I do not feel obliged to
represent nature realistically; this gives me the freedom to experiment with
form, design and color and most recently with texture. Forms of nature speak to
me in terms of human emotions. Nature pleases me and touches me, evoking
enthusiasm for solitude. Nature frees me from all onuses of life, and when
looking at landscapes, I find myself concentrating on the "self"-that which is
to me the spirit, the soul of being. Through
investigating nature, I am compelled to understand myself and reflect on my role
and purpose of being. During this creative process I am in constant touch
with my inner feelings. The woods, the hills, the cliffs, the water-these are
all motifs for inspiration and reflection of a particular experience."

In the West Gallery at LAA, an exhibition entitled 'Mix of Five" will
be displayed simultaneously featuring the works of member artists Donna
Callighan, Rosa Colon, Fabian Cortes, Lisa Cuscuna, and Ken
Delmar
