ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: ANNA ERICKSON PRESENTS DARCY BRENNA
Oscillating between moments of stillness and unbridled emotion, Darcy Brenna’s abstract works expose the human condition’s inherent dichotomies. Working in a rich palette of deep reds, violets, corals, and marine blues, she captures extreme states of being in gestures that intimate the cyclical stages of existence. Her compositions erupt and swell, invoking fury and passion, defiance and strength. This surface tension is balanced by underlying traces of brushstrokes left semi-visible by the artist, a record of becoming that suggests the cumulative effects of life itself.
Fleshy, bodily forms and contrasting tonalities coalesce in shapes reminiscent of tempests and turbulent seas, revealing the brutality and beauty inherent to nature and its oppositional forces. Just as the seasons initiate perpetual shifts between violence and tenderness, from the bleak frigidity of winter to the exuberant rebirth of spring, Brenna articulates the messy, poetic struggle that defines the very impulse to survive.
