Magnetic Color field
These works on paper take inspiration from the inexhaustible patterns of variation and repetitive but rarely exact forms in nature, to the straight lines and right angles of architecture, to color as it relates to both tangible natural material as well as mercurial emotional reverberations. Sly’s work flattens and layers the complexities of the world around her, capturing its tensions within the lines of her work and fibers of the paper.
The works are direct, intense and vibrant. They capture you as a group, compelling you to skip from one to another, finding similarities and differences, searching for connections, until you slow into an acknowledgment that each is a singular declaration within the greater collection.
This work is sold float mounted in a cherry wood frame. Please allow 2 weeks for delivery. Upon purchase, a member of our team will reach out with more specifics. Please reach out to info@porta-nyc.com with any questions.
Material: Acrylic on paper
Unframed Dimensions: 19 x 15in; x 48.2 x 38cm
About the Brand
Originally from London, Sly was brought up in Argentina where she ran an art gallery before moving to Portugal where she now lives and works. On moving to Europe she explored work as a creative director, creating cohesive visual worlds for her clients with projects that include hotels and restaurants across the continent.Her project, Dora Daar, co-founded with Pepi de Boissieu was a way to continue her deep interest in interiors, while adding a focus on creativity built through a more conscious approach. Working with craftsmen and women, Sly and De Boissieu focused on designs that celebrate traditional techniques and cultivate a new type of luxury in everyday objects.
Color, form and space have always been central to the way in which Sly operates with the world whether for outside clients or within her personal space. This exhibition marks an exciting moment of personal exploration and artistic experimentation as she distills her years of spatial creativity into an intimate and personal output.
