LAFAYETTE, IN (AAPNW) – Currently on view, “Sylvia Gray: Patterns” is an exhibition at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette through Sunday, January 8, 2023.
Artist Gray sees patterns in landscapes and the motion of figures and she uses those patterns to dye and paint on silk. Her wearable artwork can include traditional shibori silk dyeing or silkscreens that she develops and then uses to paint on her fabric in layers. Additionally, she will also hand-paint abstract and representational images on silk with dye to capture her emotional response.
“Patterns are everywhere in my life. They are like magical mysteries waiting to be solved,” says Gray who found inspiration from the German Expressionists, Blue Rider Artists and Wolf Kahn that shares animals, family, and a love of art history as major influencers of her work, “…leading me on a journey to the professional working artist…”
