ANE / Bennington — Week 2

August 3, 2010 by Laraine Armenti, visual artist

072710 hydrangea no. 5; graphite on mylar

My time on the road included a side trip to visit Tad Spurgeon. After years of appreciating his work online, Tad generously let me interrupt his painting time to meet him and see his work in person. His studio is a wondrous cavern filled to the brim with paintings stacked and hung on every surface; it is a marvelous workshop of intense explorations. His extensive experiments with materials are a treasure chest of silicas, putties, gels, marble mixing slabs, and window sills full of countless glass bottles filled with glowing aged oil. Delacroix seemed to be right around the corner, about to enter from the next room.

The drawings in this post were made during the second week of the Art New England / Mass Art workshop program at Bennington College, Vermont.
