ELANA KUNDELL
Elana Kundell creates imaginary environments in the abstract that are
based on emotional rather than physical spaces. Based on memory —
where experience is recycled and distorted — the paintings occupy
an ambiguous zone between what is seen and what is felt. The process at
its best reveals clues about the deep, usually hidden nature of meaning/feeling/being
in the world, bringing to light possibilities for transformation.
Working in oil on panel, the surfaces are developed intuitively using
knives, brushes, fingers, and cloth to form dense, intersecting layers.
