Alanna Miller is pleased to announce Magenta Disco, a solo exhibition of works by Hattie Smith Lindsley, opening March 2, 2023 from 6-9 pm.
Living and working in Brooklyn, New York, Hattie Smith Lindsley takes inspiration from her Texan upbringing. Shades of ochre, purple, light blue, and green are staples in Lindsley’s color palette, mimicking hues of the horizon and passing cloud coverage. Her compositions wander and roam, dance, and disco.
Quick brushstrokes swirl in oil across canvas like the whipping southern wind. Compositions are punctuated by the occasional buildup of white paint, creating her signature Hill Country impasto. Lindsley imbues her large-scale abstract canvasses with the natural beauty and mystique of the vast American West.
Having studied landscape architecture and design, Hattie Smith Lindsley is painting in response to the desert and its unending possibility. Her keen sense of depth and movement combine with rich and gestural paint application to create a dynamic canvas, recalling the tremendous legacy of female abstract painters who came before her.
