CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Okla Jones, III Recommends: Deedra Ludwig has a very unique practice. In her art, she uses materials such as soil to serve as a foundation, which is inspired by the coastal lands of Louisiana. For years, she has experimented with color, mark making, and composition, and has worked with biologists, botanists and historians on site in diverse ecosystems where our human interactions have diminished the health, vitality and well-being of land and watersheds. Drift - her current exhibition at Thomas Deans Fine Art - is more than just a re-creation of landscape on canvas or paper, it is an expression of the essence of nature in a rich and complex form; based on geographic locations such as the Florida Everglades, Louisiana bayous, Pacific Northwest wetlands and global rainforests. — OJ
From the venue:
Rather than re-creating a literal landscape on canvas or paper, Deedra Ludwig aims to express its essence in a rich and complex form of delicately painted organic subjects that float and trail across the surface, at times receding into pool-like depths, and at others buoyed by surrounding luminescence that seems to project beyond the surface. Join us at our reception for the artist on December 10th, from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
