For this painting, Gina Werfel used a series of gestural marks to generate a movement through the canvas, creating a sense of transparency through thin washes and using the drips to create a gridded effect.
Werfel employs expressive, lyrical gestures that create bursts of movement and energy. Her color choices create a range of tones from the muted and serene to the vibrant and electric.
