Known for his use of unprimed canvas, Feeley typically employed just two or three bright colors in creating his simple and symmetrical compositions. Paul Feeley (1910–1966), while often mistakenly associated with the Color Field painters of the 1940s and 1950s, in fact found the inspiration for his work primarily from ancient art, Greek architecture and Egyptian sculpture. The patterns evoke references to Moroccan textiles or Moorish tile, but their soft edges and tonal shifts create a uniquely sensual experience.
In Wild Flower (2017), Adams creates diamond-like shapes with rounded edges, lending a biomorphic and curving form, and chose shades of muted blue, cream, and burnt orange. While entirely abstract in their structure, the works’ soft irregularity in shape create a figural illusion of curvaceous anatomical forms. In her paintings, Marina Adams creates a push and pull between color and form.
