GIANNA COMMITO

Turf, 2010, watercolor and casein on panel, 24" x 20"

Gianna Commito is definitely a colorist who's talking in her own abstract language. The use of mediums such as watercolor and casein on panels sized with a marble dust ground is rarely found in abstract painting right now and it's great to see how well she pulls it off.

    but space, pictorial space is a shared issue.
