Using negative space and layering mediums, Austin-based painter Diana Greenberg transforms natural and human forms into complex, abstracted color compositions. Folded Sculpture with Amaryllis (L.A. Freeway) is from the artist’s Folded Sculpture series of large-scale paintings inspired by small sculptures of discarded painting materials in the artist’s studio. Inspiration for this work includes amaryllis flowers and musician Guy Clark’s song “L.A. Freeway,” as music often becomes an additional conduit to her rhythmic mark-making.
