Arlene Farenci takes interest in merging unexpected elements of painting and printmaking to express her vision in her unique monotypes. Part of her process includes working with layers and transparencies, creating marks with brushes, spatulas, rollers and rags. There is a playfulness and energy in her brushstrokes as she freely applies the ink, trusting her instincts as well as the medium she works with. Arlene’s work has an explosive quality as she pushes, smears and scrapes her inks. The pigments seem to be alive. Colors clashing and hiding each other, obscuring and revealing themselves. Markings recorded, on the page, as well as the day.
