Margaret Tsirantonakis

4 STUDIOS

PAINTINGS AND WATERCOLORS

SEPTEMBER 11 - OCTOBER 10, 2021 MEET THE ARTIST - SEPTEMBER 12, 2-5 PM

This exhibition will include not only recent paintings and watercolors, but earlier work created in studios at each of the Loft Artists Association’s three locations (previous/current) in the South End of Stamford, CT.  After being a LAA studio member for 25 years, as of July 2020 Tsirantonakis now works out of her Stamford home studio.  This exhibition encompasses work from these four studios.

Throughout the evolution of Tsirantonakis’ work, color has remained a priority to her.  Color relationships and their interactions, as well as the sensation and translation of feeling into color, are central to her artistic expression.

Her recent work, including paintings and watercolors done during the Covid quarantine, continues her focus on color inspired by the garden and flora around her home during the different seasons.  She uses expressive brushwork, gestural mark-making, and layering with “breathing room” to create these vivid works.
