Meg Jorgenson is an abstract painter based in Los Angeles known for her meditative works that evoke the ineffable beauty of nature and the poetry of the transcendent. Her studied experimentation with materials and her commitment to art as a means to dance with the unconscious to create meandering paths of discovery in dialogue with the past from the first ancient painters who used clay-derived pigments to the spiritualism of the earliest female pioneers of abstraction. With handmade dyes, and pigments created out of materials foraged from the raw landscape, Jorgenson builds surfaces of texture that play off the surrounding environment. Her works shift and evolve with colors of refracted light. Inspired by Simone Weil’s description of attention as the rarest form of love, Jorgenson continues to see her art as a method of accessing and conveying inarticulable expressions of the human subconscious and the space created by the viewer’s intimate experience with her work.
