A CONVERSATION:

For many years Linda Brown and Jennifer Moses have maintained an open ended dialogue about each other’s work and about art writ large. Born out of mutual respect and shared concerns in their work, their visits to each other’s studios for critique and conversation—and often a laugh—have endured.

They find joy in color, and at the root, that’s what drives their work: The hunt for an edge where two colors meet and either connect or disrupt. Both artists also work towards a balance of abstraction and representation. Their bulbous and cartoony forms straddle the line between humor and solemnity. Both Brown’s and Moses’s processes are improvisational, shifting color and form until it “feels right” or until parts become a whole that simultaneously threatens to fall apart. Both artists revel in the act of surprising themselves as they work through constant changes on the path to a finished piece.  

The differences in their work are also part of their conversations. While Brown’s work delves headlong into the reality of 3-dimensional space, Moses is concerned with illusion against the flatness of shapes. Brown finds her narrative through form, while Moses begins with narrative and finds abstracted forms that will communicate her idea. 

This show reveals a glimpse into their years of connection and conversation.
