Amber Koprin 'Where the Shadows Meet'
Where the Shadows Meet, Gouache on Paper, 4" x 4", 2020.
Artist Statement
“I am infatuated with Midwestern houses, especially at night, when the contrast of the dark sky draws me in from a distance. I find allure in the sleekness of vinyl siding and the artificial color the grass emanates. Accompanying the vinyl siding and grass are other telltale suggestions of home – lawn chairs, fences, sidewalks, trashcans, hoses coiled carelessly in the shadows. Each visible element, illuminated in the darkness, holds a compelling position as if intentionally lit with a spotlight. In this way, each scene appears theatrically staged, carrying with it an inherent air of fiction and disbelief.”
