In her current body of work, Belk engages with abstraction as a dynamic language, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a visual dialogue shaped by form, light, and shadow. The interplay of opposing and complementary shapes generates an undercurrent of tension, a subtle dance of visual forces. The language she employs is a delicate fusion of contrasts: juxtaposed lines and wash, sharp edges and intricate textures colliding with hazy planes, and always a dialog of foreground and depth. Belk’s paintings gradually unveil their narrative, accounts rendered in hues ranging from understated to assertive. More than visual spectacles, they are emotive landscapes, where the calculated and the intuitive converge, resulting in creations that captivate and resonate, bridging the realms of traditional technique and modern expressiveness. These are works that reside in the realm of color abstraction, yet they flirt with visual allegory, teasing the observer’s imagination.
