Their construction is self-reflexively reductive, with rough edges, exposed hanging apparatuses, and layered paint.<br /><br /><i><b>They are prints</b></i>: each work is generated through a variation of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black) color passes, creating a field of reveals and overlays, muscled on to the muslin substrate by the weight of Correa’s body. The wood printing blocks themselves are made from discarded worktables, broken from hours and hours of use.<br /><br /><i><b>They are pictures:</b></i> of labor, of repeated gestures, of task-based work. Made during his employment as a woodworker, each line captures the route of a drill, router, chisel, or saw over his Masonite work-surface. With this series Correa eschews his previous investigations in mark making (where the mechanics of the artist’s gesture – measured, deft, awkward, or random – were made as an extension of the body) in favor of the surplus marks of a different kind of work, the byproduct of a different kind of labor.<br /><br /><i><b>They are about removing space</b></i>: between the works and the gallery walls; between the layers of paint and the raw canvas; between Correa’s day job and his practice; between the paintings and the bookshelves, cabinets, tables, chairs, beds… that formed them.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: white;">---------------------- </span></div>

Inspired by materials from earlier periods, she designs frames of carved and gilded silver platinum or gold, and tables lacquered with rare mineral pigments. She also works with Bronze as table bases sconces or mirror frames. This, combined with the use of<i><b> modern materials dramatically reinvents methods which glow in brilliant colours</b></i> and shades. So using new techniques, she achieves a fresh and modern result, and a strangely classic style. Of Canadian birth she was educated at the National College of Art in Dublin , with further study at the Slade School of Art London. Her London studio is well established with private patronage <a href="http://www.chastel-marechal.com/en/artists/marianna-kennedy/17/287"><i>(via here)</i></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">--------------------------</div><br /><span style="background-color: #999999;"></span>
