Ellen Weider "Geometric Abstraction", 2021, gouache, acrylic, and colored pencil on a flat sheet of linen, 16” x 20”
AN EAST WING PROJECT SPACE ONLINE EXHIBITION
“The title of my exhibition, “Art About Art,” describes paintings that focus on art and the daily practice of making art. The paintings can be seen as self-referential, but they also point to the lives of artists doing their work in the studio and interacting with other artists, the art world, and the world at large.”
— Ellen Weider
