Blair Vaughn-Gruler

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” color=”#3e3438″ transparency=”1″ thickness=”5″ width=”56″ up=”23″ down=”61″][vc_column_text]“My practice is built around process; mark making, repetition, accumulation, erasure, and the viscosity of the paint itself,” says nonobjective painter Blair Vaughn-Gruler. “I’m also concerned with my physical relationship to paint, including the motions inherent in the process of mark making.”

Through a process-based approach, her all-over surfaces can suggest writing, data collection, geometry or architecture,  “Imagery becomes deconstructed into lines or marks, which emerge, repeat, and forget themselves back into the paint,” she says. Vaughn-Gruler earned an MFA in Visual Art in 2010 from Vermont College of Fine Arts and a BFA in Painting in 1979 from Northern Michigan University.

She lives in Lamy, New Mexico, and co-owns GVG Contemporary with her husband, Ernst Gruler.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”23″ down=”22″][/qode_elements_holder_item][qode_elements_holder_item vertical_alignment=”top” advanced_animations=”no” custom_class=”artist-image”][vc_single_image image=”3382″ img_size=”artist-page” qode_css_animation=””][/qode_elements_holder_item][/qode_elements_holder][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
