Cesca Spoonhower - oils, resin, mixed media

Dreamy Abstraction

Chaparral member Cesca Spoonhower is showcasing a beautiful collection of her creations throughout June at the Desert Hills Presbyterian Church. Cesca's work often presents an abstracted view of reality. Her pieces delve deep into mood and memory, offering interpretations that are both evocative and introspective. Some of her works capture fleeting moments or the essence of a remembered person, imbuing the canvas with a sense of nostalgia and emotion.

Cesca's merges in the use of texture and color that results in a captivating scene. Each piece is a sensory experience, drawing viewers into a dreamlike state where the boundaries between the real and the imagined blur. The textures in her work often convey a structural hardness, juxtaposing with the softness of her color palettes to create a dynamic and engaging visual experience.

Cesca might even incorporate resin and sand into her pieces, adding a unique tactile dimension that sets her work apart. The resin provides a protective coat, preserving the vibrancy of her colors and the integrity of her textures. At the same time, the inclusion of sand introduces an element of the natural world, grounding her abstract visions in a tangible reality. This combination results in artworks that feel freshly crafted, as if they have just emerged from the artist's studio, alive with creative energy and possibility.
