The paintings of Arlene Case take several forms yet a familiar thread runs through them. Whether she recreates scenes of a simpler past, or of a more complex contemporary existence, whether she uses bold or fine lines, strong or subdued colors, textured or smooth canvases, she expresses the human need for compassion, belonging and stability. She aims to put her subjects in the finest light, and transmits a sensitivity and warmth that allows the viewer to identify, regardless of background, culture or status.
