Gingham 4, 2024

Watercolor and graphite on Arches 10 x 7.5 inches

In Gingham, Adriana Farmiga's series reimagines the grid as both a Modernist abstraction and a deeply human expression. Through her delicate watercolor paintings of folded gingham napkins, she brings the geometry of the grid into the intimate realm of everyday life. The familiar checkered pattern, often associated with domesticity, becomes a vehicle for exploring structure, form, and personal connection. Farmiga’s sensitive rendering of the napkins infuses the geometry with a tactile warmth, inviting viewers to consider the intersection of precision and the human touch in both art and life.
