Sojourner Truth Parsons An effect of light II, 2023
152,4 x 121,9 cm
The vividness of everyday-life experiences but also the strangeness of existence are at the basis of Sojourner Truth Parsons’ work. With their intermingling bright colors, silhouetted bodies, and black fields doubling as architectural markers and framing devices, Parsons' paintings have an astounding atmospheric intensity. Her compositions hover at the threshold of abstraction and representation, swinging back and forth as recognizable shapes such as bodies, flowers, sun and moon, city blocks or landscapes never fully settle in one register or the other.
