ABOUT THE ARTIST
Foster Boyajian is a Boston-based artist whose work delves into the dynamic interplay between color, form, and the body’s sensory experience. With a background in printmaking and a current focus on large-scale abstract painting, she is deeply engaged in exploring how color and scale influence both physical and emotional reactions. Through instinctual movements and performative gestures, her large-scale paintings invite immersive confrontation, while her smaller prints offer a more intimate, contemplative engagement.
My paintings exist in a cycle of iteration, each work feeding the next in a continuous process of creation and reflection. The canvas becomes both a confidant and collaborator as I layer thin washes of paint through instinctive gestures, balancing control with surrender as the medium asserts its own autonomy. Scale is central as larger canvases envelop the body, confronting and immersing the viewer. Color functions as a living presence, evolving and engaging the senses. Within this dialogue between self and materials, the work emerges as an entity in its own right, continually shaped by interpretation.
