Sparrowmint Product Gallery @ 2 Rivington
November 22 – November 27, 2022

SparrowMint ProductGallery is pleased to present “Molasses”, a New York solo show of Alysa Rowlands (USA).

The “Molasses” Series are thoroughly modern paintings constructed on 3 interlocking components of classic painting: Color, Perspective, and Narrative.

The striking Color is created through thin glazes of translucent paint pigments, alternated with scumbled semi-opaque layers to build mass and volume. White is generally only mixed with yellows and oranges.

Traditional Renaissance Perspective techniques are re-imagined by triangulating the space between objects within the painting, creating a unique sense of depth

Each painting has a consistent set of Narrative elements to tell an open-ended story; A human or avatar are interacting with a landscape with sky and clouds, a water source and grass and some type of modern architecture and other evidence of modern man.
