In her previous paintings, Angelina Gualdoni depicted modern-day ruins with a mix of naturalistic detail and hazy atmospherics. Her latest exhibition, Proposals for Remnants, carries on the entropic themes, but finds the artist thinking more formally, looking to technique as another way of exposing these ideas. In variously sized oil works of mounds of debris, the surrounding environment fades away, replaced with a background of ethereal color stained into the canvas. In a few pieces, the junk piles lose their shape and become abstract compositions, while in Cosmic Painting (2009), they disappear altogether — as if we were watching our structured world fall apart and dissolve into the universe beyond.
