New Paintings
Amanda Reeves 

September 12 - October 3, 2015

OPENING: Saturday September 12 from 2 to 5 PM
 
Elissa Cristall Gallery is pleased to present the second solo exhibition in Vancouver by San Francisco-based artist Amanda Reeves. 

Obsessed with colour and pattern and its emotional response, Amanda Reeves’ paintings engage the viewer in the slow contemplation of looking.  With meticulous preparation, the varied layers of acrylic wash stand as a modulating visual ground for the precise geometric shapes overlaid. The flatness of the shapes are influenced by the uniform patterning of visual information that surrounds us every day - the reduction of data compressed to two dimensions on screens and in graphics. Yet the paintings are not intended to be read and understood like data, but to stimulate an emotional response, to draw out the sensation of a memory. 

Amanda Reeves graduated with honours from the Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2005, and has participated in numerous exhibitions. She was regional finalist in the 2008 RBC Canadian Painting Competition and her work is in the collections of the Bank of Montreal, Royal Bank of Canada, Medcan and Cenovus Energy and private collections. Reeves currently lives and works in San Francisco, CA.
