Elaine Coombs: Untethered

From the venue:

Atlanta, Georgia: Thomas Deans Fine Art is pleased to present “Untethered,” a solo
exhibition of 14 semi-abstract paintings based on the sky by Canadian artist Elaine
Coombs in her first exhibition in the Southeast. The exhibition will be on view at Thomas
Deans Fine Art in Atlanta, Georgia from 22 April through 20 May 2023 and will open
with a reception for the artist on Saturday 22 April, 5-7 pm
Elaine Coombs is a renowned Canadian painter based in San Francisco whose
paintings explore the changing nature of the sky. For the artist, the exhibition’s title
untethered “encompasses feelings of freedom, joy, and lightness.” In her semi-abstract
compositions, reflective metallic backgrounds in silvery pearl, gold, and blue acrylic
paint represent sunlight and provide a soothing visual contrast to the meticulous,
rhythmic palette-knife marks that indicate clouds. Her work captures the ethereal beauty and changing moods of the sky.
