Louise Kalin's Solo Show & The New Voices Exhibit at Longyear Gallery

"Cena Pohl Crane just recently moved her art studio to the Commons Building. She is now upstairs on the second floor and was showing four large pieces. Cena cites some of her influences being the German expressionists: “Nolde, Kirchner, Der Blaue Reiter, those guys, but I’ve always really had a love for Egon Schiele. The way his figures are so emotive”.

Cena’s figures are definitely emotive. In her depictions of women, it’s their poses that stand out, and the color that swirls around them like gauze. Her nudes seem to glow, radiating from the canvas. Cena was also influenced early on by a semester in Florence as an art student, and would spend whole days in the Uffizi Gallery with her sketch pad, developing a passion for Caravaggio and other renaissance painters. The dramatic German and Italian influences merge in her paintings. "

Exploring Intimacy and Identity in Some Bodies at the Roxbury Arts Group

"Cena Pohl Crane’s paintings, on the other hand, vibrate with emotional and chromatic intensity. Her bold, expressive brushwork reflects a restless dissonance with contemporary life. Her figures, often dissolving into their surroundings, articulate the internal fragmentation experienced in a digitally saturated society. The body, here, is both a site of resistance and collapse, especially under the pressures of modern womanhood. Through this tension, Crane invites viewers to reckon with their own dissociation and yearning for embodiment."
