Love
© Jo Sandman
Sandman’s broad, gestural marks and composed splatter place her workin dialogue with the Abstract Expressionists of her generation. The spirit of experimentation demonstrated in Sandman’s work was also key to the ethos of Black Mountain College, where Sandman was a student during the 1951 summer session, studying under Robert Motherwell. Also a student of Hans Hofmann, her direct relationship to the canvas can be found in the immediacy of the surfaces and the emotional depth of her paintings. In the early 1980s Sandman began cutting and reassembling housepainters’ drop cloths, embracing both the importance of controlled formalism and the chance elements of working with found material.
