Open First Friday: The Ways of Water

The Ways of Water by Elaine Maute, an exhibition that explores the delicate and ephemeral nature of water’s influence on art. Through her innovative technique of painting on thin cloths stretched over gessoed boards, Maute captures the ghostly, transcendent images left behind by the interplay of water, fabric, and pigment. The result is a series of works where water’s natural flow and science guide the creative process, with Maute acting as an observer rather than a director of the final outcomes. Featuring both original watercolors and enlarged prints on Silk Charmeuse, this exhibition showcases Maute’s mastery in enhancing the ways of water while allowing it to shape the artwork in unexpected and delightful ways.
