NEW YORK CITY, May 11, 2016 (Newswire.com) - On April 1, 2016 artist Alla Broeksmit displayed Carnage, her most recent exhibition, at the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture. Carnage is a representation of the modern socio-cultural experience, informed by Broeksmit’s own emotional experience of the world. Brought to life through a variety of textures, materials, and creative techniques, the works displayed at the exhibition’s showing wowed artists and art enthusiasts alike. A video was recently released to pay tribute to the show and exhibition’s success.
Carnage, comprised of paintings, drawings, and sculptures, is representative of Broeksmit’s unique style as an emerging artist. In creating Carnage, Broeksmit drew from a pool of references found in her own personal life, in poetry and art history. Utilizing vast and complex mediums, between paint and plaster, the figure is revealed through the process. She experimented with spatial relationships and the formal aspects of depth and color. Minding the intimacy of her palette and subject matter, she fused figuration with abstraction. The inter-media sculptural works allowed her to explore parts of her own body utilizing aspects of gestural abstraction. This new series is a reflection on a chaotic environment; forms are intertwined, combining a rough surface with soft and pastel colors.
"The emergence of a vital vision of a new artist is always appealing and always special. Alla is emerging with vibrant color, space and imagery combined with wit and seriousness."
Graham Nickson, Dean of NYSS
