ABSTRACT AIRS, NATURAL RESPONSES: THE ECO-PAINTING OF RUTH GONZALES AND LORIEN SUAREZ-KANERVA

Many phenomena motivate abstract artists. Indeed, one of the advantages of abstract painting is the platform it affords for tackling myriad disparate issues and ideas in a single work - not just in what that work shows, but in what it considers, what it associates, what it brings together. The ecological urgencies of our time, for instance, are not simply depicted in the work of concerned, committed artists like Ruth Gonzales and Lorien Suarez-Kanerva, but are at once approximated - left "open" to both interpretation and modification - and transcended. Suarez-Kanerva's burgeoning circular geometries, and even her floral stylizations, conjure everything from the orbits of planets to the bodies of microbes, evincing the microscopic and macroscopic at once and cultivating fantastical shapes, colors, and movements in the evocation of natural force, terrestrial and otherwise.
Ruth Gonzales's delicate and diffident abstract-impressionist manner, by contrast, muses upon the gentle surfaces of those substances that host the ongoing transition between living and non-living organisms. between life forms and their detritus and the unliving - or perhaps not-yet-living - materials out of which organic matter can assemble. Gonzales inherits from Monet and Rothko, Okada and Klee, Suarez from Kandinsky and Mondrian, Kupka and Popova - but the two painters seem less revivalists than revitalists, animating high-modernist form not ironically but passionately. The modernists embraced nature even as they obscured it. Lorien Suarez-Kanerva and Ruth Gonzales embrace nature in order to clarify, and celebrate, its very
complexity.
