Description: Art by Cheryl Safren made with various chemical reactions, sometimes including the formation of glass, on copper sheeting, yielding a multitude of brilliant colors and rich textures. "Cheryl Safren's current work is inspired by twenty years of researching and painting the physical, biological, and earth sciences. Various chemical reactions on the surface of copper sheeting yield the multitude of colors and textures present in her work. Her varied manipulations suggest the genesis or formation of different t

“With Chemistry as Art , Safren uses chemical reactions on metal surfaces to create dynamic images. With these works, Safren brings to the fore the chemical materiality of painting and the intimacy of individual artist with their materials. Safren's 'paintings' interact with their viewers through the refractive and reflective nature of the chemicals applied to their surfaces.” — Dr. Joachim Schummer, chemist, editor. ©2003 by HYLE Publications

“To take in the full effect of Safren’s works, engaged viewers might find themselves moving from one side of the work to the other, and then squatting low before rising up on tippy-toes. Each change in the angle defined by the eye, artwork, and light source changes the work’s appearance. This interactivity is particularly compelling.” -Ivan Amato, Senior Editor, Chemical and Engineering News, October 23, 2006
