Description: Diane Churchill describes the genesis of this 1996 painting entitled "Oh, Sister": "In Istanbul, I had the sense of reaching through centuries into an ancient world of matriarchal cultures rich with goddess images. This painting came about as a direct result of that trip." Churchill's art has often dealt with issues of women and culture. In layering personal and borrowed images, Churchill combines realism and abstraction.
Churchill's most recent series "The Shimmering World" is increasingly abstract using the rich colors and textures of the East but with less specific historical references. Visit Diane Churchill's studio. View more Diane Churchill paintings offered for sale. |
