Betsy Eby: I Am Ocean

Though rooted in her myriad observations of nature in a considerable geographic expanse, Betsy Eby’s paintings use melted wax and oil pigment for their varied textural effects. For her eighth show at Winston Wächter since 2003, the artist creates paintings based on her summers on the Maine coast. Highly abstracted scenes of crested waves beneath looming black and blue skies follow from work seen in her successful exhibition last year in London at Cadogan Contemporary.
