The painterly world of gestural, non objective, abstraction has made quite a run from mid 20th century painting right into our own 21st century art world. It would seem that most of the options for originality have been exhausted, but it is a style of painting, a life style even, that continues to draw artists into its alluring possibilities. Since painterly abstraction is such a personal, creative activity, there is always room for the artist’s soul to shine through.

The paintings of Geraldina Wise tick all of the boxes as to what a successful abstract expressionist painting could be; gesture, color, texture, and action are all present and well balanced across the picture plane. These are delightful and enchanting paintings in which the viewer can imagine stepping right into and becoming totally engulfed within its torrents of line and color.

I look forward to seeing this artist expand her horizons in the future. Look for her work in the upcoming LATINO ART NOW, this coming spring in Houston and Richmond via CAM Fort Bend.
