Seraphin Gallery – Philadelphia, PA | “A Perfect Luminosity” Elizabeth Wilson | Solo Exhibition | October 14 – November 18, 2005

Seraphin Gallery announces the opening of “A Perfect Luminosity”, a solo exhibition featuring works by Elizabeth Wilson. A striking feature of Wilson’s paintings is the way air, land and sea enhance each other. Wilson’s work plays with a type of mark making which is abstract, and yet from a distance it resolves any doubt the viewer may have about what is being seen. In the mid nineties, Elizabeth Wilson started frequenting the locals of Dunstanburgh and Cambridge, among others. She chose England for its legendary overcast skies that obscure the sun creating the silvery cast of the landscape. These atmospheric conditions create many of the effects that Wilson seeks in her landscape paintings. For Elizabeth Wilson, luminosity is an event in painting. Its moments are rare and painters have been trying to capture its effects for centuries. Luminosity is when color and tone come together in such a way that light in a given scene becomes central to motif. The juxtaposition of pictorial counter balance is pleasing to the eye. She shares in the tradition of Constable and Corot, whose works affirm devotion toward a proper luminosity.
