Ingrid Calame - Uncovering the Beauty of Hidden Places (in plain sight)



 

Calame reveals what is right before us, in plain sight...the marks and remnants of an activity long passed. This might be tire skid marks at a motor speedway or repaired cracks on an old asphalt road or the street art of taggers on the cement banks of the LA River. She and her team painstakingly trace these left overs resulting in a strange urban calligraphy.  Her finished paintings can be delicate drawing-like works or bold, expressive brush strokes in vibrant colors.
