THE UPPER WEST presents “AffirmSheArt - Working it out in the
Paint,” on NOVEMBER 18, 201 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The solo
exhibition will feature the paintings of DEBBI SINGER. The artist will
be in attendance.“I discovered Upper West about four years ago. I
love the ambiance, checking out the Art and most importantly Chef
Nicks artistic food creations. That is what keeps me going back.”
Singer and her husband frequent the restaurant. She said her
husband’s favorite dish is braised short ribs. “I never eat Mac &
Cheese and yet I made the mistake of taking a bite and now I dream
about it. So many of their ingredients are sourced locally and taste
and feel like a farm to table experience.”
She added that she has always been impressed with the art on exhibit
at the Upper West and is looking forward to having her own art on
exhibit. “Their large walls and beautiful restaurant make for a
perfect backdrop so it is an honor.”
Like most artists, she works on several paintings at a time. Painting
three to four times a week, she said it is an essential part of her
soul’s journey.
“It is not unusual for me to take a finished piece and feel
compelled to paint over all or part of it,” said Singer. “So some
have multiple lives.” She commented that some paintings just come
together right away and feel finished. “Other times that is just a
starting point and from there I respond to what is on the canvas.”
Singer works with Acrylic paints, Oil pastels, and many mark making
tools. She explained, “From time to time I use stencils, mixed media
and digital images I create in Photoshop.” Color can be the theme of
the work, or the impetus to starting the painting. She chooses not to
work in series. “My process is more intuitive and organic and doing
a series would feel stifling to me. I feel that my best pieces come
from my heart not my head.”
