“Say what you have to say. Quietly, clearly and simply. A gentle subversion of Modernism”.

 

    

Marc Salz along side six works on paper as part of a group show in support of the Ukrainian people(May 6-8,2022).

“Pathways”(Jacob’s Ladder), 2017-2022, pencil/watercolor,  13.5”-12”. From the “(Human)Nature Drawings”. This piece and others in the series were done while being at home without a studio but I wanted to give them the weight of paintings. The pencil became like a brush dipped in oil paint. It felt as if what it must have been like to have been Moses crossing an unknown desert with only a staff of wood and a jug of water. Sometimes you learn something from being a little hungry about what you can’t have.
