Jacqueline Ehlis
Jacqueline Ehlis takes on subjectivity with physical vigor. Her work is a complication of painting and sculpture which challenges and heighten the viewer’s sense of place, something Barnett Newman was fond of discussing but perhaps never achieved. The difference with an Ehlis is its invasive and generous quality. Much like watching a top athlete, élan vital is bounced off the viewer and the tensioned grafts of materials ask to cut in for the next dance.
