Description

The Popcorn Gallery presents Untold Stories, featuring the work of the late artist Charma Le Edmonds. Untold Stories was curated by Jack Rasmussen, Director and Curator of the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center. As a native Choctaw, storytelling was a part of Charma Le Edmonds’s heritage. And, like the Surrealists before her, she relied on automatic drawing as the basis of her imagery. Her drawings form a layered story within the paintings. This intuitive process creates a psychological depth using veils of layered colors and patterns contrasted with solid blocks of color and intricate detail, mirroring the overlays of experience in our day-to-day lives. They represent the struggle of recovery and of fundamental human conflict. Her art is a search for beauty in nature and harmony between life and death as a source of strength and reflection.
