AUBREY SAGET
Aubrey Saget’s paintings focus on framing and pacing. The imagery varies in its intimate references. Oil paint activates the gessoed ground, while self-reflexively indexing the material. The lens is narrowed to a point of claustrophobia, with a glimpse of stillness.
The value of the white surface and color oscillate from painting to painting. Her process centers around adding and subtracting within each small frame. Oil paint is absorbed, wiped, and sometimes omitted completely, forming a myriad of stark light sources. Through off-kilter repetition, the imagery disorients; however it remains centered around one desolate familiar breadth.
