Upon first impression, Maura Segal’s abstract canvases conjure a delicate simplicity.   Blocks of color languidly splay behind exquisitely thin meandering lines which create voluptuous curves and freeform fluidities. Yet upon closer investigation, the artist’s focal craftsmanship is confirmed. Foundational background textures and foreground lines reveal themselves as intricately hand-cut patterns and strips of paper laid below and atop paint. This concealment of an overall complexity in Segal’s detailed approach is inspired by her love of modern architecture and minimalism; both of which inform her work constructively and aesthetically.
