Carla Pagliaro, “Chaos”

These paintings contain elements of everything Carla Pagliaro has done over the past 15 years.  Her approach is first to paint realistic elements and then obliterate a lot of what she has painted, creating a more and more abstract work. 
Of the process, the artist says: “It's liberating not to get too attached or precious about it. They are chaotic, because in these times that's just what comes out. But, of course, it has to be coherent chaos, and that's the tricky part.”
