Diana Page: urban myths

$

Diana Page's popup art show (December 7 - 8, 2012) was a passing feature. It gave us a brief glimpse of the fragments of imagery with which the artist crafts her urban myths. In her work, mysteriously metamorphosing forms hover poised between states, elusive solids dissolve into transience, open framed trajectories of colour propel incidental anecdotes towards epic dimensions.

The artist reverses the solids and voids of the urban setting with playful mastery, renders spaces solid with blocks of intense colour as objects dissolve in light brushwork.

Her charcoal sketches are graphic moments where the artist's skilled hand matches encounters with intention. "Like drawing on velvet" says the artist.

Page's work, epic and intimate, courses like on-going conversations on the walls of her atelier on the Bosphorus. By appointment.
