\n<p>WENDY LETVEN<br \/>In her work, Wendy Letven juxtaposes contrasting visual languages and typologies of form.She is concerned with semiotics and the possibilities of conveying abstract thought throughsigns, symbols and esthetics. Working fluidly across a broad variety of mediums in paintings,and sculptural forms, she explores the physicality of her materials and the materiality ofimplied forms. She is interested in providing for the viewer an open-ended decodingexperience when engaging with the work as it calls into question the connection and dialoguebetween human-made design and the naturally occurring structures they mimic. Letveninvestigates the ephemeral nature of color, shadow and light, always framing the poetry thatexists in the tension between reality and illusion.<\/p>
\n<p>\u201cIt is my feeling that there are simply degrees of stability in all things. Shadows come and go,and so do paper and other things, which we consider to be more permanent. All is ephemeral,a state which can be made visible in powerful ways, depending on the lens through which theartist chooses to frame it\u201d \u2013Wendy LetvenWendy holds a BFA from Tyler School of Art and an MFA from Hunter College.
