Laura Roebuck's Fertile Soil 8 is one of the last paintings in the series that seamlessly blends the independence from visual reference in her abstract paintings with the interruption of an abstract ranunculus. The gestural mark coming in at the last moment of effort made, is a poignant crescendo in a concept around "Fertile Soil." Fertile Soil #7-10 represent the finale of this compelling series.
Description
Laura's pursuit of saturated, intense color works, alternating with studies in neutrals, muted tones and monochromes are created using common household and construction tools, traditional palette knives, paintbrushes and found, broken and collected objects.
