Sophie Isaak - My gym friends (monotype, 15" x 11", 2019)
My work is bound to intense colors, awkward and surprising forms and idiosyncratic compositions. I utilize printmaking techniques, as well as drawing and painting, to convey spaces that are simultaneously intriguing and uncomfortable. I think of each drawing as being completely made up of decoration, but somehow the interactions between these moments of visual seduction create a larger and more complex story. Through patterning as well as intense and often very wrong-feeling color and compositional choices, I create wildly shifting plots.
