Elize Vossgätter makes her debut at Everard Read London with two new paintings. “Painting is an instinctive, observational reaction to the natural patterns of the world,” she says. Vossgätter’s relationship with paint involves an ongoing quest to push the limits of the material, by engaging the oil pigments with various solvents and additives, in an effort to find new streams to convey meaning. In these two works the surface of the canvases is transformed with beeswax mixed with both synthetic and organic pigments. By carving into the wax, the artist creates a multi-layered relief, evoking the physical laws of nature from which she draws her visual vocabulary.
