Light and Motion
Elaine Duncan
December 2 - December 19, 2025
Reception: December 5, 5-7pm

Strata Gallery presents an established artist solo exhibition, Light and Motion by New Mexico based artist Elaine Duncan. The exhibition is on view December 2nd through December 19th with a special reception on December 5th from 5-7pm. 

Elaine Duncan approaches her abstract painting as a form of movement and rhythm, often incorporating sand for added texture and play. Lately she has been experimenting with solar printing directly on the canvas as well.

Elaine Duncan stated, “I find painting to be a dynamic, almost choreographic experience. It is a partnership between myself, the paint and the canvas - where rhythm, texture, and movement intertwine. Inspired by dance and bodily movement through space, I allow the medium to guide the creation process, minimizing conscious interference. This surrender to the moment is deeply gratifying”.

Elaine Duncan received her BFA in from New York University. Her work has been exhibited in Colorado, New Mexico and in various publications including Vogue Magazine, Aesthetica Magazine, Art Business News and Monochromica Magazine. This  is her first solo show at Strata Gallery.

Strata Gallery is open from 11AM to 5PM Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website and Instagram.
