With In/Out: Solo Exhibition featuring Lanecia A. Rouse
May 4-June 30, 2019
"Lanecia's artwork is known for subtle manipulations of color and texture applied through a variety of material. Heavily influenced by abstract expressionism. she paints emotions into her art, building up layers that represent the landscape of the human condition.
In this body of work, Lanecia uses the raw materials of the earth: dirt, clay, fiber, wax, and sunlight, to bring visual expression to her journey through grief. She introduces cyanotype printmaking to combine her photography, words, and nostalgia.
Her art deftly unifies soft and hard; balancing the contrast between the ethereal memories in her cyanotype prints and the raw moments in her textured paintings. Her process is deeply personal, and yet, as you spend time with the marks, textures, and visual components in the art, you are reminded of your wanderings through life."
