Soft Power: Marina Adams at Salon 94 Bowery

Marina Adams marks her debut exhibition at Salon 94 Bowery with a striking burst of color. Soft Power includes five large-scale paintings that display the artist’s deft use of palette. Fluently pushing color into form, Adams creates undulating, interlocking shapes that reveal a powerful internal rhythm beneath their surface simplicity. As the artist puts it, “Meaning and intellect in abstract art can be difficult to locate, as there is no narrative to lead us into it. It is like the voice itself. I use pattern and color to create the voice. And I use structure and form to channel it.”
