Loft Artists: A Matter of Size

This past Sunday, I explored the current exhibit at the Loft Artists Association in Stamford, Connecticut A Matter of Size. The exhibit showcases artwork ranging from the small and portable vs. large and imposing. The artwork is juxtaposed on the wall, featuring black and white, vibrant colors, intriguing abstracts, ingenious yet “cheeky” mixed-media works, and breathtaking travel photography.

I had the opportunity to speak with exhibiting abstract artist Alana Rockland-Kogan whose earlier painting from her Transitions series, pictured below, was created with layered acrylics in jewel-tones. The lines of built-up texture converge into a flower design. Mark Macrides who typically works in small, vibrant mixed-media collage, features his large structured, cool and geometric Seascape Triptych, pictured above.
