MICHELLE FAIR: STILL

Crosstown Arts / 1350 Concourse Ave. September 27, 2024 - January 19, 2025

Michelle Fair

"My current work is more about the process of the painting than anything else. Of course, there are themes and subjects I gravitate towards — figures and landscapes, ideas of solitude and loneliness, etc. — but there is something so explorative and meditative about painting that I’ve noticed becoming more and more the driving factor for me. I find when I try to come up with ideas that are motivated by the final product I get stuck. Lately I have decided to forego the control of the final product and just go where a piece takes me. In doing so, I am looking at colors, shapes, and textures differently than I was before, and I make decisions I probably wouldn’t have made if I had planned everything out. I think focusing on the process has allowed me to lose a little rigidity and to explore more, and that is what these pieces have been."
