On Tuesday Oct 13, 2020 at 11:30 a.m. Joseph Gallivan interviews painter Michelle Ross and the Elizabeth Leach gallery director Daniel Peabody about Ross’s new four-painting commission at the Standard Insurance Building lobby. The works, called “The Turn of a Shape: Dawn, Dusk, Midday, Midnight,” hang in the four corners of the remodeled lobby at 900 SW 5th Ave, viewable by the public in office hours.
Ross talks about her choice of colors and shapes, her variety of paint types, and both her response to light at different times of day and to corporate strictures.
From the press release:
The year-long project culminated in the installation in October 2020. Michelle Ross has created four large paintings, each 16 feet tall by 83 inches wide, a monumental undertaking. These are huge, magnificent paintings commissioned by a private company, The Standard Insurance.
