Erica Lindsay

Visual Art – Chicago

Inspired by 20th Century Pop Art and Abstract Expressionism, my work focuses on the process and act of painting itself. Painting has always been a type of release for me. I don’t feel like I chose art as a career; I feel like art chose me. My color palettes, which range from bright pastels to neutral and subdued tones, are intuitive and reflective of what is going on in my life. I am very interested in the balance of form and line as well as the complex relationship between color and shape. My abstract paintings involve impulsive mark making, the use of alternative media and materials, and unconventional ways of applying those materials.
