In Amy Cohen Banker’s new work, an unexpected tranquility of gesture replaces the heavily marked surfaces of her earlier
work.  A New York based artist, Banker explores the interplay of painting and poetry. Her canvasses, inscribed by traces of their making as well as by the erasure of marks, show the process of painting as a double of writing. Banker has exhibited extensively in NYC and internationally, and is currently exhibiting work at Art Expo 2008 at Temple Emanu-el of Closter in New Jersey (January 10-22) and the Indiana New Media & Video Exhibition at the Indiana University Art Gallery (January 11-27). She will also exhibit work at the Chelsea Museum in June.
