One who can always see the big picture. One for whom the world is equally compelling and revolting, revealing and concealing. One who sees the personal and political, creative, social and environmental as often one, and for whom a single medium and point of view is never enough.

<p style="color: #535353; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-kerning: none;">A fine art print is a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-kerning: none;">reproduction or a copy of an artist’s original painting using a digital printing process with archival inks on fine art paper. Fine art printing is the term often used to refer to professional photographs being printed on very high quality paper. This designation, which is by no means a label, meets certain quality criteria, with regard to the paper and inks, which are sought after by many photographers and printers.</span><span style="color: black; font-kerning: none;"> </span></span></p>

Natural fibers (usually cotton or alpha cellulose) must be included within the composition of fine art paper. The paper is not artificially bleached with chlorine or other chemicals that would break down the paper and the inks over time. Commercial photo paper is better for photos viewed on an occasional basis, whereas fine art paper will ensure that images are shown off in their best light and provides good performance in exhibitions.</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-kerning: none;">Because fine art paper is intended for the printing of high quality photographs, its quality must be ideally suited to receiving inks and pigments. The composition of the surface layer must allow the ink to adhere well over time, while offering a neutral pH to ensure that the paper also stands the test of time. Fine art paper will also allow you to emphasize the composition of the image by providing the ideal support for intense colours and marked contrasts, while also enabling a wide range of grey tones. <a href="https://www.canson-infinity.com/en/fine-art-paper-and-photo-paper-what-difference"><span style="color: #0000e9; font-kerning: none;">Read more about this</span></a></span></span></p>

<p style="color: #535353; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Archival ink is specifically designed to be resistant to weathering and fading so that it will last for a long time. It is often used for scrap-booking and other activities where the written or drawn images need to be preserved indefinitely. To make the most of archival ink, it is best to use it in conjunction with archival paper, which is also made to resist weathering and fading. <a href="https://snco.com/archival-ink/"><span style="color: #0000e9; font-kerning: none;">Read more about this</span></a></span></span></p>

My focus is increasingly on the healing nature of the ocean: the vibrations and patterns of the wind, water and sky on the human body, especially in our moments of sickness and deepest sorrow. Have you ever been to the ocean to heal or grieve? I have done so many times. I have also been there to celebrate often.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">The ocean is 'there' for us no matter how we feel, or what we need on any given day. It seems to listen to us and embrace our thoughts and dreams. Yet this reliable phenomenon is also a fragile eco-system, and in grave danger in our era of rapid climate change. Like our own bodies, we can not take its health for granted.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818;">“Fish, amphibian, and reptile, warm-blooded bird and mammal-each of us carries in our veins a salty stream in which the elements sodium, potassium, and calcium are combined in almost the same proportions as in sea water.” </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818;">― </span><span class="authorOrTitle" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold;">Rachel Carson, </span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818;"></span><span id="quote_book_link_542766" style="caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818;"><a class="authorOrTitle" href="https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2423508" style="color: #333333; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">The Sea Around Us</a> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/2423508-the-sea-around-us">LINK</a></span></i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">As an artist, I wish to love and honor the ocean that is so present for us freely and without question. I, for one, would feel completely lost without an ocean to contain my human self. How could I thrive without it? I do not see the way. For this reason I am using paint, which I like to call my "liquid light", canvas and wood panels, sustained personal observation outdoors (painting en plan air), and my imagination, electrified when I am on location, to express my gratitude to the sea, my old friend.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(24, 24, 24); color: #181818;">"It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life.

text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><i><br />After my solo exhibition "Unbound" at the Paterson Museum in 2019, I had intended to publish a catalogue. This piece of writing by Mary Birmingham, Curator, Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, was intended for that purpose. The pandemic upended my plans. But I do want this piece of writing to be available to my readers and followers. Therefore I am featuring it below until the catalogue gets finally made. Triada Samaras August, 2022</i></span><p></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> In her solo exhibition, “Unbound,” Triada Samaras explores themes of personal</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">identity and transformation in vibrant paintings, sculptures, and works on paper.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Working intuitively, she approaches each new work as an inquiry with its own</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">unique energy. A multi-disciplinary artist, Samaras is also a poet, educator, and</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">community activist who addresses issues like housing, clean water, and land</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">use—especially as they relate to gentrification. Although she has frequently used</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">her socially engaged art to raise awareness and affect change, with this exhibition</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">she shifts her focus to the personal and turns her activist energy inward.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Comprising more than thirty works, the exhibition is a comprehensive and personal</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">exploration.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Incorporating iconic images of house, hand, and body, Samaras layers these forms</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">with words and lines from her poetry, giving viewers an intimate glimpse into her</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">journey toward self-actualization. In two small paintings, Bounded 1 and Bounded 2,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">a windowless house with a tiny door fills almost the entire area of each painting, as</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">if it is about to burst out of its frame. This tension between constriction and</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">freedom is a recurring theme for Samaras. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRplOJX-mVIGZtkoKtGGm63CO50TAME7FMMZZyjEYRI3uvdO2v3-NpunpaVMA4PSQMqWrTlH-fSGzodWOGkEnKJsqVFRfnXbKq5G5mTsRBDeGHmwltoNImhOpczIHXfbtNfVrPApvuHD2w8nVvQYlNVET1aBrq0nxlLXx9pPAY9oPuhnYLpuB6OeV3yA/s633/4fe6e9e6b938ee17e9f19c34b8d2b3b4.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Triada Samaras" border="0" data-original-height="633" data-original-width="605" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRplOJX-mVIGZtkoKtGGm63CO50TAME7FMMZZyjEYRI3uvdO2v3-NpunpaVMA4PSQMqWrTlH-fSGzodWOGkEnKJsqVFRfnXbKq5G5mTsRBDeGHmwltoNImhOpczIHXfbtNfVrPApvuHD2w8nVvQYlNVET1aBrq0nxlLXx9pPAY9oPuhnYLpuB6OeV3yA/w383-h400/4fe6e9e6b938ee17e9f19c34b8d2b3b4.jpeg" title="Take Away" width="383" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><div style="text-align: center;">Above: <em style="color: #545454; font-size: 17px; position: relative;">Take Away</em><span style="color: #545454; font-size: 17px;">, 2017, acrylic on canvas, 50 x 62 inches</span></div></span><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">A larger painting, Take Away, repeats the </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">motif of the abstracted house, situating it behind a </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">figure with outstretched arms. </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Like many of the artist’s works, its meaning is ambiguous. Is the </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">figure embracing </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">the house, or letting it go? Is she attached to the house or escaping its hold? </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Within </span><span style="font-family: helvetica;">the outlined shape of the figure Samaras has superimposed lines from her</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">poetry—some words legible and others veiled in layers of paint: “The wind blows</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">through me / Bright light finds the empty spot in my mind.”</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> These lines or fragments of poetry appear in many other works in the exhibition. In</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">the ink drawing, Letting Go, an intricate network of lines and text covers the surface</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">of an outstretched hand, like an elaborate tattoo. A vortex of hand-written words</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">fills the background, repeating the lines quoted above. Samaras employs this open</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">hand image in several other works as she explores the dichotomy between grasping</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">and letting go. Reaching 1 also highlights the outstretched hand, placing it against a</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">dark background on which a fragment of the same line of poetry is painted. In the</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">exhibition’s most recent work, Emancipation, a disembodied hand reaches down</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">from within a light-filled grove of trees, releasing a pair of hand grenades. Bathed in</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">light, it is a powerful, surrealistic image.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> If there is a signature work in the exhibition it could be the painting Unbound, in</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">which a seated woman seen from behind is silhouetted against a gold background,</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">like a religious icon. A forearm and hand extends from the area of her heart up into</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">her head, lending new meaning to the repeated line, “Bright light finds the empty</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">spot in my mind.” Loose spirals of rope and text loop around her body. Despite the</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">ambiguity of the image, its title implies a loosening of bonds and hints at liberation.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Uprising is yet another painting that brings together house, body, and poem, and can</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">be seen as a coda to Unbound. Red and blue houses set in an earth-toned space</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">create a backdrop for a yellow female figure that diagonally bisects the canvas from</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">top to bottom. This figure is covered with text that restates the simple message</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">from Samaras’s poem, “Bright light finds the empty space.” A series of blue roofs</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">lines up in a perfect diagonal behind the nude figure, their pointed peaks forming</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">arrows that direct our eyes upward along the outstretched body, emphasizing the</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">work’s dynamic composition. The elemental nature of the words and image is</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">underscored by the artist’s use of primary colors.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> Looking deeply into Samaras’s abstracted forms, gestural brushwork, and</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">straightforward words, the viewer may detect a hint of hopefulness, despite their</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">darkness. The titles of the exhibition as well as the individual works hint at this</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">idea. With so much of the work expressing concepts of liberation and breaking free</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">and the belief that “light” will always find a home within us, the artist makes a good</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">argument for optimism. Like the figure in her painting, Uprising, Samaras’s work</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">ultimately leans toward hope. Viewed together, the works in “Unbound” release a</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">kind of energy that can also be described as “unbounded,” since it is limitless and</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">free of restraints or boundaries. We should celebrate this energy that is both timely</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">and timeless.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Mary Birmingham</span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Curator, Visual Arts Center of New Jersey</span></p>Triada Samarashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17001185908791742250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-374844239863468986.post-22904164546769981732022-08-07T16:17:00.008-07:002022-08-14T21:34:45.779-07:00Triada Samaras Exhibits "Disconnect" at Riverfront Gallery / Audio File<p><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Last night's opening at The Riverfront Gallery was awesome.

caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I tried out a new medium today as I vowed to myself that I would. And a new size. This is 12” x 18” and watercolor on paper. There’s a good reason no one ever said watercolor is easy! Kudos to all the watercolorists out there; this medium is unforgiving but fun. This is my backyard in Brooklyn with a little more sky. Who knew Brooklyn could look so pretty. I added a bit of oil pastel in the end.</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8jPCL4SRVvQXpeCw-T1tVhHHW2cVFEErohEyLYPJb-UlQG6HTJVdHfIrkf4ACRa9vIS9jaG4AKLKjAmd6iw8eeOAK2fKJ3Oue6IwRm8QTsMLbr8GQA-ZZegnCezxHGPh0wX_FT1Ct4Z49VnFDPXZlPcJV3Ig1Djd78socKoWpIK8CbK9H6oqbLxtvUQ/s3938/IMG_5057.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="triada samaras" border="0" data-original-height="2569" data-original-width="3938" height="262" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8jPCL4SRVvQXpeCw-T1tVhHHW2cVFEErohEyLYPJb-UlQG6HTJVdHfIrkf4ACRa9vIS9jaG4AKLKjAmd6iw8eeOAK2fKJ3Oue6IwRm8QTsMLbr8GQA-ZZegnCezxHGPh0wX_FT1Ct4Z49VnFDPXZlPcJV3Ig1Djd78socKoWpIK8CbK9H6oqbLxtvUQ/w400-h262/IMG_5057.jpg" title="triada samaras" width="400" /></a></div><span face="-apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626;"><br /></span><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Above: Oil on the left.

caret-color: rgb(5, 5, 5); color: #050505; font-family: helvetica; white-space: pre-wrap;">I tried something different yesterday which is oil paint and working outdoors! This is my backyard in Brooklyn. I’m still working mostly on wood. This piece is 10" x 8“ I’m still intending to go larger but I need to use up all the small pieces of wood first lol. It’s also nice to be experimenting at this stage on a smaller format before I go bigger.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioMbMAQl667Kylc5cEaJRX52pCvMAYH_FDlqVy-ZoJpcOHtEDoOXm4KdNQm0giUjUj1SV53M0WSdlhEgHs9xLwgNKKiLgDt5Ra6tFSQ170q2V5xchkXx_NDt7OwNCI3p8JzU-eNPovQxfpa9kJYEegoZSerc95EDHNozhKQoD59eO4qoqma2yMij236g/s3235/IMG_5002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

The left one is 24 x 48 inches oil on cavas "Disconnect 4" and the right one is a bit smaller oil/mixed media on canvas "Reaching". These paintings come from the 'inner', and are inspired by mind scapes I see with my eyes closed. Done at the same time as my recent Maine en plein air paintings, they prove to me how bi-polar the Long Covid experience can feel. This series is done slowly with oil paint as my medium. I love black. Is it obvious? Many thanks to my two colleagues: Julie Harris and Anna Shukelo for curating/hanging this exhibition!
