Acrylic on Canvas
 
----
Like midcentury abstract expressionists, Helena Magnusson Ogburn’s work is about process. Painting mostly with her hands, Ogburn thrives on the feeling of wet paint and how it moves across the canvas. She splits her time between Virginia and South Africa. This process of spontaneity requires total abandonment of rules, restrictions, fears, and ideas. Each painting gently unfolds into its own; the end result is simply what happens but is never the objective.
