Embark on the work Navy Canvas Painting
Angela Simeone’s *Embark on the Work* (navy canvas) charts a metaphysical seascape where labor meets luminescence. Against a deep indigo ground—evoking midnight’s toil—a horizon splits roiling waves below and a star-pricked sky above. Simeone’s loose, deliberate brushwork sidesteps Romantic drama for a subtler phenomenology, with gold and silver impasto tracing the titular “embarkation” like veins or circuitry. This self-taught artist, whose practice entwines motherhood and mark-making, infuses the work with quiet insurgency, reclaiming the everyday epic. The navy canvas absorbs light, amplifying delicate metallic threads that suggest iterative toil over heroic triumph. Echoing Agnes Martin’s restraint yet flowing freer, *Embark on the Work* invites viewers to navigate not toward a destination, but through the luminous act of doing. Hung in soft light, it hums; in shadow, it beckons—a portal to restless beginnings.
