Paintings are conjured using color and compositional strategies to create perceptual experiences of charged energy. In the most recent work, color is optically mixed using an algorithm consisting of 4 colors: fluorescent grey,black, fluorescent red, and light fluorescent green. Combined through a 4-layer system of diagonal stripes and bisecting darts. Affected by the angle of view and shifts in lighting; each variation exists in flux to formulate new ranges of color, temperature, speed and depth of field. (http://www.palmablank.com/contact/) Palma Blank’s paintings explore the eye’s capacity to decode information, challenging viewers to experience color and line in novel, often squint-inducing ways. The surfaces of her boldly hued paintings appear to throb, a result of her dissolution of the foreground-background relationship.

A native of Norwalk, CT, her work has been exhibited steadily in the Northeast since 2006, and has been written about in TimeOut new York and New York Magazine.
