SUMMIT, NJ Trans-Morphologies evolving artwork of Alexandra Isaievych
opens at the New Jersey Center for Visual Arts (NJCVA) March 14 and
continues through April 17, 2003. In her paintings, Ms. Isaievych combines
spontaneous and colorful textures, marks and drips to create magical
dream-like settings that feature biomorphic shapes and symbolic figures.
She is fascinated with the evolution, transformation and transmutation of
forms, shapes and structures, and the inherent logic that guides their
changes. The works presented in this show mark an evolution in the
artist's style from clearly figurative forms to the more abstract and
universal shapes. A reception to honor the artist will be held on March
16, 2003 from 2-5 p.m.
Ms. Isaievych's unique style contains three distinct layers that morph
together to create the finished artwork. The first layer is spontaneous,
unguided and self -evolving. The second layer attests to Ms. Isaievych's
passionate love of clear lines; which executed in acrylic, gives definitive
shape to the boundaries of the finished piece. The final layer is brought
forth in oil and its role is to integrate and to clarify while bringing
into focus and reconciling diverse under-layers thus creating a rich
interplay of forms and textures in the finished work.
Ms. Isaievych was born in Lviv, Ukraine and currently lives in Summit, NJ.
She has studied art in Ukraine and the United States, earning a BFA from
the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Ms. Isaievych also holds
a masters degree in economics and public policy from the Woodrow Wilson
School at Princeton University. She views art and economics as part of the
same continuum within humanity's search for understanding and knowledge,
and feels neither viewpoint is complete without the other.
Trans-Morphiologies evolving artwork of Alexandra Isaievych is being
presented in the Member's Gallery. The artist's web-site can be found at
