Miami-based artist Madeleine Gross draws inspiration from the natural surroundings and from people engaged in their everyday tasks, such as women sunbathing at the beach or walking through the city streets. Her work often features depictions of oceans and skies, reflecting the beauty of her environment. Within the varied and inspiring pockets of the physical world, Gross attempts to create new narratives, by adding a few bright strokes of paint to her pictures. Using different colors to reflect the mood, she gives her photos a very visceral, tangible quality. Merging the reality of the honest photograph with her abstract artwork, Gross offers viewers a more playful, cheerful way of seeing the world. Beyond this, her seemingly swift licks of paint add depth, texture and the feeling of movement to her work.
