Artist: Annette Davidek

Gallery Henoch presents Bouncing Forward, a selection of recent paintings by Annette Davidek.

The exhibition features oil paintings that draw inspiration from the natural world. Inspired by Asian art and botanical diagrams, Davidek incorporates these elaborate forms into her paintings. The repeated motifs can be seen throughout the entire body of work. Each shape is layered over the other through the application of transparent glazes of oil paint, resulting in a juxtaposition of luminous color. Davidek's unique approach to color draws inspiration from plant life, yet she aims to push the boundaries of nature by creating bold and surprising compositions, as in her piece #24-19 where the vibrant yellow acts as a sheer background for contrasting shapes with varying levels of opacity.

Annette Davidek lives and works Brooklyn, New York. This is her second solo show with the gallery. The exhibition runs concurrent to a show of new oil paintings by Kevin Palme.
