Two New Dance Figurative Paintings at the Gallery

Margaret Tcheng Ware has been working on a series of figurative paintings that celebrate her past as a dancer and captures the dynamic energy and beautiful lines of professional dancers. We now have two of these available for sale at the Gallery.

Here are her own comments on it:

"In my new series of dance paintings, I come full circle back to my first love, which is dance. Usually, I approach these paintings by conceiving of a composition made up of individual poses. Separately, each dancer’s gesture is powerful; combined, or re-combined, the impact of their gestures can be even greater than the sum of the parts. This is my goal in these paintings - - to try and express the drama, the rich gamut and the ambiguity of feelings, inherent in the human figure when moving. The overall title for this body of work comes from my own experience In the theater: it is during those highly charged moments when both performers and audience alike are totally committed and engaged in the moment that they experience together the excitement of being in 'a more vivid place'."
