“La Finestra," presented by Camille Obering Fine Art, celebrates Obering’s mode of geometric abstraction that marries the formal rigor of American Minimalism with the harmonious serenity of old master religious painting. Obering’s paintings on Masonite panels, emphasize the work’s three-dimensional presence. The works demand a viewer in person who can enjoy the richness of the palette and observe the play of light and perspectival shifts in geometry that arise from different vantage points. Obering from time to time created works such as "Blocked," allowing her audience a window into her process to create thesepieces.

While Obering’s compositions are geometric and orderly, she brings a sensualist’s spirit to this rational mode. Her practice is steeped in art history, as seen in her materials—egg tempera paint she mixed herself and reflective sheets of gold, silver and copper leaf—which have their origins in medieval and early Renaissance altar painting. She painstakingly built up her paintings through repeated applications of paint, at times yielding a smooth opacity and at others more mottled and brushy textures. These richly layered surfaces fully showcase tempera’s ability to create jewel-like planes of radiant color. This precious quality of her art is further enhanced by her use of precious metal leaf to impart a striking element of material luxury.
