Untitled (His Words II) Karleen Loughran pastel, 30" x 29"; $2000 Exhibited at Village West in the Under the Influence show, Fall 2016 |
Arcadia (1958) Cy Twombly Inspiration piece for Karleen Loughran for the Under the Influence show, Fall 2016 |
"Cy Twombly's free and open use of mark making suggests words or thoughts appearing to spill out over the surface of the paper or canvas in an unconsciously emotive way without actually saying anything, but still communicating a powerful feeling or emotion. This is what has influenced my work. I use automatic marks that imply letters or words, purposefully veiling any written meaning in an attempt to guide the viewer beyond the concrete or obvious to the deeper more powerful substance expressed in the action of making the mark reinforced by color and form."
