Paintings by Olivier Raab and Sculpture by Joan Fine
The artist’s primary vision draws inspiration from the natural world. The works on display in “Primal Cell” reveal the artists’ visceral responses to the often strange and poignant world of nature – disparate shapes, primarily organic in form, dance about on Raab’s canvases and in Fine’s sculpture, and a certain lyricism prevails. Images of microorganisms, biological cells, and other life forms create strikingly beautiful and hypnotic patterns in all these works, and the result is a vibrational dynamic and an exquisite aesthetic harmony.
