Comments for The Left Bank Gallery Essex http://www.leftbankgalleryessex.com/site A New Art Gallery on the Connecticut River in Essex, CT Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:39:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 Comment on Artist: Dinah Williams by Ling Jiane http://www.leftbankgalleryessex.com/site/artist-dinah-williams/comment-page-1/#comment-97 Ling Jiane Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:50:43 +0000 http://www.leftbankgalleryessex.com/site/?page_id=490#comment-97 In the Ophelia-reminiscent piece, the female body getting drowned creates, in her possiblity of coming back to life again, a space of her own, secretive, spiritual and inspirational, as the artist says of her art that is part of her self, her world. The overwhelming water image, which is traditionally asscociated with the female, is transcended by a mystic beauty and power that may seem threatening to an eye used to be a passive body like Hamlet's Ophelia in the male gaze. If in death life comes back doesn't seem a brand new theme, the delicatedly blurred sensual female body in a fairy quality but all too human color speaks for herself, her choice, or any choice we are making, daily, to make a life for ourselves. In this light, it is an existential piece by a female artist who self-consciously pursue her life and art in one. Cheers for Dinah, and thanks to the Left Bank receptionist who kindly printed her bio page for me, which only made my short trip to Essex as perfect as "the best small town in America" is. Does it matter how many Chinese has, by chance or on purposed, walked on the land of seagulls and histories, mosaic ice and impressionist oils?
