Pauline Chernichaw – Ceres Gallery New York

STATEMENT

Pauline Chernichaw’s most recent body of work titled “Rapport” is her second solo exhibition at Ceres Gallery. Her textural paintings and works on paper draw upon her life experience, examining and referencing a personal narrative. Chernichaw’s work engages and invites the viewer to share in an openly extemporaneous yet introspective visual exchange of ideas and perceptions. An ardent and forceful painter, her emotionally charged compositions are executed and applied with bold color, line and active brushstroke. Chernichaw’s notable use of titles such as “The Glass Ceiling”, “Face the Storm” and “45 and His Swamp” indicates her belief that titles generate an inner dialogue between painter and spectator. Through her art, Pauline Chernichaw renders an insightful and recognizable narrative.

Pauline Chernichaw was born in post WWII Germany, Pauline Chernichaw is a mixed media artist living and working in the New York area.
