EMILY MASON: THE FIFTH ELEMENT

EMILY MASON: RECENT PAINTINGS
2017
Published for the event of Emily Mason’s first show with Ameringer McEnery Yohe Gallery in New York, this catalogue features 20 color plates of recent paintings, an essay by Karen Wilkin, and an updated chronology of Mason’s biography. From Karen Wilkin’s essay: “It’s stating the obvious, yet it’s still important to note that Emily Mason is an abstract painter who delights in color and revels in the fluidity of her chosen medium . . . Each painting has an individual mood, a particular emotional and chromatic temperature. Some seem superheated, others are cool and serene, and still others seem to embody lively oppositions. While Mason never fully reveals the trigger—or triggers—that may have provoked a particular image or combination of hues, her responses to these triggers release a host of inchoate associations in the viewer.”
