THE ARTIST ONLINE www.elizabethhack.com

Elizabeth Hack paints horizontal
bands of color that develop into rich
impressions of atmosphere, ocean
and landscape.

To create the works of her 10-year-
long series, “Waves”, the artist
scrapes paint across canvas, panel
or paper in one stroke of the hand,
again and again, in a layered fashion
until the work achieves a meditative
and material balance.
A thin line of black ink delineates
smaller detail to bring the viewer
intimately closer to the work
while suggesting water droplets or
speckled light. As symbols of the
eternal sunset or landscape, Hack’s
paintings inspire an immediate
sense of peace and the presence of
a universal life source still a mystery
to us all.
