Lindsay Overbey

Lindsay Overbey is interested in making shapes shift seamlessly between clarity and the overall haziness of so much indistinct information. The calculated arrangement of marks become the organizing structure that holds the work together. She constructs images using a delicate balance of choice and process. The diverse array of information is layered and strung together into an ideal whole. A vocabulary of marks are used to ground areas of the painting. Each stroke influences the next in a controlled, spontaneous process that adds up to an alluring language. This intuitive way of working allows her to gradually build layers as the painting develops. Overbey's work is abstraction based on choice of forms and color relationships.
