The last day to view “Architecture of Stillness” is Sunday, September 20th. We hope you can make it in by then!
“In my work, stillness is not a lack of motion - it is an act of being present.” In “Their Still Water Runs Deep,” we are transported to the ocean shore, where faceless bathers in vintage bathing suits and bathing caps stand still in water. They dissolve into the calmness of blue blocks of color. In “Boundless Love,” a white headscarf adorns a monochromatic figure, its quick, expressive brushstrokes a tribute to the artist’s mother and the Jackie O elegance of that era. In “Gilded 2025 1,” an arresting and formal 6-foot figure in a gold-leafed dress, long black gloves, and a tall hat fills the canvas. The surface of the dress holds reflection and density, shaping the figure into a still presence with a sense of quiet power and eminence.”
For Maya, “the plan is never a plan. I begin a painting by sketching directly into the paint, so I don’t lose any spontaneity. I sculpt figures using blocks of color, adding and subtracting until there is an edited space. That space invites intimacy and stillness, which creates room for the viewer’s experience.”
