Aura
Acrylic and Mixed Media on Canvas. Handmade wooden frame.
In an evolution from the strictly abstract forms of her previous works, Marleigh Culver’s new paintings take on a new fluid, expressionist aesthetic. The works bring the artist’s current state of exploration and openness to life through the use of water as both symbol and tool.
Having found solace in the Arizonian desert, Culver has developed a new appreciation for how life is created and exists in order to survive an intense climate. Through studying types of birds like the migrated peach-faced lovebird and also the survival skills of cacti, she brings a new perspective to how life is lived and seen.
These works were painted cradled by desert hills and in the warm sun. Working with and being inspired by the movement of water, an essential element to Culverʼs upbringing, this body of work expresses feelings of slow healing and studied natural forms. Creating safe boxed-in forms along with sporadic, freeing and colorful brushstrokes, the idea of home and living and feeling grounding allowed these to come to fruition.

“...remain true to myself. To make work that is undeniably me and uniquely my own. I hope to make things that move people, but if I make work just for others without putting myself in it, it won’t carry.”

JANELLE LLOYD ON MARLEIGH CULVER
“Marleigh Culver is a favorite artist of mine that Tappan features. I loved the name of this piece for my daughter’s eventual bedroom. It’s the question I ask myself pretty much every day when I look at her.”
