The Amy H. Carberry Fine Arts Gallery at Springfield Technical Community College presents the exhibition, “Abstracted,” by Canadian-born artist L.G. Talbot, on view from Sept 6 through Sept 30, 2022.
Considered a “distillation of lived experience,” Talbot’s canvases explore a bold color palette and thickly textured compositions of pure abstraction. Originally trained as a ceramicist, these recent paintings from 2021 and 2022 represent a shift in practice due in part to the pandemic. Prior Talbot sketched compositions with charcoal, then erased and drew directly on the canvas again with thick black oil bars to demarcate borders. Now, working exclusively with palette knives, she establishes color fields more quickly and builds up layers of paint in more muted, earth tones. Consequently, physical engagement with materials and an elegant economy in composition have become signature aspects of Talbot’s larger-than-life-sized oil paintings that now define her practice.
L.G. Talbot holds a master’s degree from Lesley College, Boston, MA, and a B.F.A. at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, T.N. She attended the Penland School of Craft, Bakersville, NC, studying under Robert Turner, and the Appalachian Center for Craft at Tennessee Tech University, Smithville, TN. Her work has been exhibited in numerous solo exhibitions, including the Five Points Gallery in Torrington, CT, and at Hampden Gallery at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, as well as group exhibitions throughout New England.
