pixography:Regina Nieke ~ “Figures in Metamorphosis” Regina Nieke’s bold, impassioned paintings present what appears to be a radical yet empathetic take on metamorphosing beings frozen within the ‘confines’ of the painted surface. Her figures hover between stasis or movement, but what becomes evident is the artist’s love of the painterly gesture. Sumptuous masses of paint suggest bodies merging into the background, or at times what might appear as the suggestion of a face is reduced to an unidentifiable thickened masses of paint.In this regard, portraits of amorphous human-like shapes are reduced to grotesque masses, yet handled simplistic grace and technical mastery, or simultaneous beauty and horror.--source link
