Erika Ranee’s paintings evoke the passage of time as she builds up color and mark through multiple processes. She employs a wide array of materials in her work, including acrylic, spray paint, graphite, shellac, and collage. Her resulting inventions of glassy color lacquers, crackled earth-toned pigments, atomized sprays of dayglo, and inscribed linear elements conjure a complex and beguiling language of visual forms.
