JENNIFER COATES' metaphysical paintings utilize the conventions of landscape as an anchor for hallucinatory visions and psychological spaces. Expanses of sky and sea coalesce into reflective pools of paint, intricate geometric clouds warp into ecstatic vortexes and tiny dots of color form clusters of light. Coates contrasts atmospheric radiance with meticulous detail and iconic directness with allusive abstraction. Varied painterly approaches are positioned against each other to create a disjunctive but idealistic experience of place. Coates lives and works in New York City, where she has exhibited frequently.
