Luminous vapors and clouds - Jennifer Coates


Jennifer Coates paints what appear to be landscapes or expanses of sky, in vivid colors that throb and glow. But the imagery starts to melt on closer inspection, and magical things percolate on the surface: trees sway but don't have roots, apparitions appear and dissolve, bubbles coalesce, and prisms sparkle. In several places, veins or vines curl and intertwine, standing in for life amid so much atmosphere. The most successful, the brilliant Softwall, captures the atmospheric energy of a whirling vortex; Creeper, meanwhile, meanders beautifully but without a similar payoff.
