Retreat #3

Theresa Marchetta’s paintings in Retreat, are compositions that are as interested in a viewer’s experience of color and material as they are in the
depiction of representational subject matter.
Looking at paintings that have left behind the familiar territory of a clearly organized pictorial field, a viewer can become immersed in uncharted regions of sensory discovery. Marchetta goes to great lengths to establish both visual and physical parallels between her paintings and the landscapes that inspired tthem.
