Window Collections III is a new series of site-specific, mural-scale oil paintings and works on paper by Pamela Lawton. The current work is an outgrowth of her artist's residencies at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's (LMCC) World Views program at the World Trade Center as well as at the LMCC's Swing Space. While an Artist-in-Residence at the World Trade Center, Lawton became hypnotized by the wavering window reflections of Tower Two in the Deutche Bank Building across Liberty Street. Her new mural-scale work examines the same transient phenomenon from street level, focusing on the awe-inspiring architecture of a Lower Manhattan glass curtain, the building 180 Maiden Lane. Her work is based on observation, yet results in an intricate array of lines, color and pattern that compose fluid abstract paintings. She takes the contemporary vertical skyline of architecture and reinvents it through gridded, composite paintings, rendering ephemeral reflections with a sensitivity to time-based light that employs the technique of plein-air painting, or outdoor painting in the manner of the Impressionists, filtered through the lens of the 21st century urban landscape.
