Parking Lot Gallery

Allison Brandi mixes purposeful lines and simple blotches of color into one powerful image which fosters a storybook of emotion.  And hidden beneath all this, lies a deliberately subtractive background crafted through a variety of experimental techniques.   This particular untitled piece appears to be an innocent child left out in the cold, his rosy cheek the only proof of vitality.   The backdrop of brightly colored acrylics is obscured behind a coat gesso which suggests a thin layer of snow atop a lost world of prosperity.   I’ve looked at this piece many times and I still feel that there’s some deep meaning I’ve yet to discover, but maybe truly great artists never reveal all there is to know.
