Shapes and Colors by Cookie Kerxton


  • Touchstone Gallery 901 New York Avenue NW Washington D.C 20001 United States (map)

The main body of work in Shapes and Colors experiments with cold wax, oil paints, and how they can be used together to the best advantage. The nature of the combination, which is slow drying, allows Kerxton to scratch through to layers below—adding hidden colors and interest to the finished painting. Since her last solo exhibition in March 2022, she has stepped outside her typical style and experimented with more organic shapes, using Gessoed paper, line drawing, and acrylics.

An Opening Reception will be on Saturday, March 2 from 4-7 pm.
