BoldBrush Recommends: Dawn Spencer Hurwitz
Biography
Dawn Spencer Hurwitz is also a well respected professional fragrance composer, certified aromatherapist, and olfactory artist. She is a true underground force in niche perfumery. DSH, as she is called by her devoted following, has been designing aromas for over 30 years.
My work is about a love of color that visually translates emotion and experience. I reference the magical, otherworldly feel of metal leaf that reflects the tradition of spiritual artwork of the past; as gold leaf has been utilized in religious work of the byzantine / renaissance periods in Judeo-Christian traditions as well as in traditional Japanese screen painting. I started my visual work within the traditions of oil painting and egg tempera / gilding but as I have evolved, I have transitioned to mixed media, working subject matter from life drawing and the external world to ‘essence’ and the internal world of spirit. It is a kind of distillation; a questioning of ‘how do we find pure essence? How do we feel our experience?’ This new work speaks to what our senses tell us.
My visual influences are Hans Hofmann, Selina Treiff, Cy Twombly, J.M.W. Turner, Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell, Mark Rothko, George Tooker, Morris Graves, Robert Kushner, Fra Angelico, Kandinsky, Chagall, Paul Resika, and Stuart Baron.

Stunning use of mixed media and metal leaf in Boulder Locust. The way the textural depth plays with that title gives it such an unexpected grounded quality, almost like the piece is rooted in place despite the ethereal finish. I've beenexperimenting with leaf myself lately and the challenge is always balancing that historical weight with contemporary energy. The tension between internal essence and external form that she talks about comes through really powerfully in this work.
