I can’t wait for the opening of Serena Cole’s solo show at Triple Base on November 6th. Her work is absolutely exquisite and must be seen in person in order to be fully appreciated. Portraiture is easily my favorite subject in art and no one does it with more refinement and classic sensibility than Serena. Atmospheric washes of watercolor mingle with textural layers of gold leafing to create a sense of moody glamour giving her portraits an air of high fashion. Look for larger scale works and new, playful compositions in this upcoming show. For additional images of Serena’s earlier work, follow the jump and be sure to check out the opening on November 6th from 7-10pm.
