Through masking and layering techniques that exquisitely blend color, material, texture and text, Page speaks to the most elemental condition of humanity, namely our need to connect. Her works are compassion. They are reclamation of dignity, identity and self-worth. They are the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. “My own stories have hurt, and they have healed. They’ve brought comfort and inspired great upheaval. Infusing these intensely personal accounts into the work affixes me to the viewer’s deepest experiences,” says Page. “I have to trust that by being courageous and vulnerable, something beautiful will emerge.” This large scale original oil and cold wax painting emerged from the artist discovering that she could be both broken and beautiful at the same time- and that there is healing in the process of feeling both. For the first time since the original art was created, Erika Guillory Page is offering fine art prints exclusively through Loupe.
