Aspen, CO. (August 1, 2022) - The Summer Lodge (St. Regis Hotel 315 E. Dean Street, Aspen, CO.) will host a reception, free and open to the public, for California based fine artist, DONNA ISHAM on Thursday, August 4 from 5 - 7pm with a portion of the art sales to benefit Anderson Ranch Art Center.
The selected exhibit features Donna Isham’s thought provoking female-centric figurative series naked, raw and courageous, as well as an expansive floor mural that speaks to the beauty and vitality of Aspen summers. Donna Isham works with live models, photographs and her imagination to depict women as strong, unique and undaunted. “These paintings are portals into the sexuality, passion and strength these individuals possess, their inner turmoil and triumph as they transcend challenges,” says Isham. Both evocative and contemplative, they speak to universal experiences. Turbulent times and rapidly changing cultural norms invite the viewer to reflect on overcoming obstacles and expanding in these “new normal” times.
Utilizing a range of visuality - sinuous lines, layered patterns, vibrant colors, dynamic brush work and textured palette knives - Isham deliberately creates ambiguous, yet beautifully forward female forms that can be experienced uniquely and personally through the female gaze. Isham allows and insists the viewer interject themselves and their own unique viewpoints. Her paintings represent women as courageous and beautiful, unbound by previous constraints. Insistence on audience participation creates a community of profound and diverse emotional experiences which transcend culture, language, time, and location - that together - support the concept of “womanhood” today.
Donna Isham draws influence from her vast experience in fashion and entertainment. Her paintings are part of private collections worldwide, and her work has been exhibited at numerous galleries across the country including New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Paris, Vienna (Austria), and Nantucket and with several galleries in 2018, 2019, 2021 during Art Basel, Miami.
