These are works by an old friend, Stuart Libby who I knew in Athens, Georgia during the 1970’s and 80’s. These are oils on paper/monoprints and have beautiful transparency and atmospheric effects. The one shown above brings to mind the compositions and colors of works by the Gee’s Bend quilters which I have studied extensively and written about, so it has particular appeal to me. But above all I love the delicacy and layering effects of all of Stuart’s works.
His work is currently being shown at Jittery Joe’s in downtown Athens, Georgia.
