Momentum: An Experience in the Unexpected (2014-2015)

Sonia Gechtoff relies on fluid, sweeping gestures to capture the aesthetic and emotional qualities of the natural environment. In Untitled (Drawing #1), Gechtoff employed graphite’s dark, dramatic properties to capture dynamism in the physical world. Her lines push outward and downward, evoking a torrent of energy.
