wax crayon on construction paper
1960
Lynne Drexler's wax crayon on construction paper works exemplify her vibrant, gestural approach to abstract expressionism, utilizing humble materials to create dynamic compositions of bold color and expressive mark making. The artist's choice of wax crayon and construction paper, typically associated with children's art, elevates these accessible materials to fine art through her sophisticated command of color relationships and compositional balance. Drexler's work in this medium demonstrates her commitment to breaking down hierarchies between "high" and "low" art materials while producing images of genuine aesthetic and emotional intensity.
