Painted in the early eighties, Elaine Marinoff¹s Synergistic Series and Erotic Series are again on display. The timing couldn¹t be better: they are welcome additions--indeed, important contributions--to the post-conceptual revival of interest in bodiliness, painting, and aesthetics.
Indeed, each painting seems like a sensitive body in itself: built of layer upon layer of oil paint, each at once as delicate and flexible as tissue, the final result is a luminous image as smooth to the touch as skin, and as emotionally evocative. Marinoff has ingeniously translated the aesthetic immediacy of the body into the aesthetic immediacy of paint.
