Taking Flight: Paintings and Pastels by Holly Wach

Taking Flight: Paintings and Pastels by Holly Wach

Presented by BankRI Pitman Street Gallery at BankRI Pitman Street Gallery

Wach is a figurative artist working in charcoal, watercolor, pastel and oils. What Wach seeks to capture is not just a physical likeness, but an emotional one.  The series on women and lions has a sensual, emotive power that sidesteps reality in favor of illustrating a state of mind. The birds and butterflies are quieter, more contemplative, but they too stress a watchfulness beyond mere physicality.  In her artwork, Wach embraces the sensuality of all living things and the “paradox of vulnerability and strength.”
