In Angela Heisch’s abstract paintings, deep blues and warm taupes swirl together in bold spirals of light and dark, hard edges and soft gradations. Her enigmatic forms resemble slices of plants, flowers, living beings, and even the cosmos; they vibrate with energy that’s both familiar and otherworldly. The artist's visual language draws on the natural world, though its embedded with emotional depth. Heisch finished her MFA at the University at Albany, SUNY, in 2014, and has since garnered acclaim for her delectable use of oils. The artist is known to create a small pastel drawing alongside each painting.
