Since then she has had numerous individual and group shows at galleries all over the United States. Currently showing at San Francisco's <a href="http://www.hespe.com/">Hespe Gallery</a> and having just participated in a group show, In Portrait, at the <a href="http://www.blankspaceart.com/index.htm">Blank Space Gallery</a> in New York, Erin's latest works continue her bold take on contemporary figurative realism.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reminisce:</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXlpNIIrDErV0ZD8OFd084g8rFctSnFlQq6Lu0AfNBI1hFpLrl7FD4TXUo3ucoN-_1KeYN8XCN8xnIM5gCcjhHQAbGbaKWZayhGxSOt6VkLT3lrf7UU5Vw4CLY27Q5hpN9IV0Oh_kyyPU/s1600/reminisce.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635628174537007794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXlpNIIrDErV0ZD8OFd084g8rFctSnFlQq6Lu0AfNBI1hFpLrl7FD4TXUo3ucoN-_1KeYN8XCN8xnIM5gCcjhHQAbGbaKWZayhGxSOt6VkLT3lrf7UU5Vw4CLY27Q5hpN9IV0Oh_kyyPU/s400/reminisce.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 533px; height: 567px;" /></a><br /><br />Looking a bit like a cross between mannequins and photo-shop filtered images, her latest acrylic paintings, clearly self-portraits, avoid direct confrontation with the viewer in almost all instances, like one of my favorite water-colorists, <a href="http://www.alicavanaugh.com/">Ali Cavanaugh</a>. This is more prevalent in her work since 2009 - in many her earlier works, specifically in <a href="http://www.erincone.com/2005.php">2005</a>, she confronted the viewer with an almost expressionless gaze.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPX8kj4urm8nI6Xoe-JqSZ7lmB3B_7qVnPP5exH986jw4mSre50U6ldBzKXDo-of_w15vDo2gjs_lQz-aBVTJZ-7CJ_RUiFoAfLraXiUuCmY2lkyVK1UywP4GoWpnNbABSN3uiH4eafBM/s1600/underwater.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635644973773534274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPX8kj4urm8nI6Xoe-JqSZ7lmB3B_7qVnPP5exH986jw4mSre50U6ldBzKXDo-of_w15vDo2gjs_lQz-aBVTJZ-7CJ_RUiFoAfLraXiUuCmY2lkyVK1UywP4GoWpnNbABSN3uiH4eafBM/s400/underwater.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 530px; height: 490px;" /></a><br />a<span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">bove: Erin Cone, Underwater, 2005, acrylic, 24" x 26"</span></span><br /><br />In her recent works, she continues to use flat bold colors and geometric shapes to make up the backgrounds, setting off the figure's red dress, which is featured in 15 of the paintings shown in this post. In some cases, small rectangles are represented by negative space as in the case of <span style="font-style: italic;">Repartee 1</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Repartee 2</span> and in others, small rectangles of color are added as in <span style="font-style: italic;">Allude, Debutante</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">Assemblage</span>. Still in others, the dress or background is faceted into a series of rectangles, playing up the multiple planes of color.<br /><br />Here's a look at many of her 2011 pieces.<br /><br />Repose:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7cmrwVAiojz6bK4kyj4pLBSaexsNtz8HJaG5bFYqmLlWM765ReVu0zfKdVK38mLFwgkV98VX9eWyKYpqjeG1YwmBUoC6ypuOdo0QDpSDsQLqAOZgJPqspmgrxFYYWmaud6ajcvRNpeHs/s1600/repose2011.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635628004108539986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7cmrwVAiojz6bK4kyj4pLBSaexsNtz8HJaG5bFYqmLlWM765ReVu0zfKdVK38mLFwgkV98VX9eWyKYpqjeG1YwmBUoC6ypuOdo0QDpSDsQLqAOZgJPqspmgrxFYYWmaud6ajcvRNpeHs/s400/repose2011.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;
