ABOUT “…And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, nor how valuable it is; nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channels open.”-- Martha Graham(excerpt from a letter to Anges De Mille)For Gail Factor, painting is a means to access serenity, a calm soul.Artists throughout history have created bodies of work in an effort to solve their personal aesthetic dilemma. Laid at the feet of Factor’s quandary is a life’s work. The unrelenting impulse to create something of beauty and personal truth has resulted in five decades of focused and committed painting; a daily offering of sorts, whereby the act itself generates luminosity and eradicates darkness. Harmonizing rich color, tone and texture, Factor strives for pure abstraction, but as images emerge, the past often makes an unwitting appearance. Memories surface and integrate into the visual field. With only slight reference to the tangible world, she takes the viewer along on a journey through an altered reality, the unknown. She is after a synthesis of it all. Reaching for an archetype of her life experience, in paint.Art is to the eye, as music is to the ear.“Any resemblance to reality is merely coincidental.” -- Gail Factor
