Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to present Approaching the Still Point of Turbulence by Audrey Tulimiero Welch. In this exhibition, Welch states, “The paintings are the sentinels. To arrive at completion, each canvas must go through a rigorous process of transformation and regeneration”. Through layers of frenetic linear elements, pours of translucent paint, and opaque skins of plaster, Welch’s mixed media paintings arrive at a state of being that merges turbulence and stillness. Her emotive abstract paintings map suffering, loss, and the capacity of the human spirit to heal and transform.
