Artwork description:
The lovely bones of Boston's Northern Avenue Bridge, situated in Fort Point Channel between the Moakley Courthouse and the Barking Crab, have long captured the public’s imagination. During the 106 years that it was operable, it swung open from its center to let water traffic pass. The bridge was closed in 2014. Boston artist Paula Ogier pays tribute to its unusual beauty in her digitally painted photograph.
Special Instructions
Paula Ogier Artist Statement:
I paint scenes in the natural and manmade worlds. I’m interested in how these worlds feel energetically as well as how they interact with each other. Using color, line, and pattern to express the emotional story of a moment in time in a particular setting, I think of my works as love poems to life.
As a digital painter, I work with a stylus on a large monitor. I make both abstract and representational marks to develop the atmosphere and structures in my scenes. I create layer upon layer of these elements, experimenting with their placement in relation to one another. My artworks invite the viewer to see the wondrous in the mundane.
