Five Faces - Sybil Gibson Self-taught Using any paper availableFive Faces Paint on paper The simple subject matter of faces, flora and fauna are submerged in mystery. Line gives way to light where lyrical hues bleed as in the dome of a rural Alabama sky. Yet form emerges shy of abstraction, retaining the familiarity of distant memory. Evasive flowers become something immediate and urgent. The spirit like portraits which populate Gibson's work peer as if from behind a veil. 19" x 36" #1217
