Connie Connally
May 5- June 22, 2007
Connie Connally’s new body of abstract paintings is based on "reflections in the harbor." A personal language of marks, shifting colors, forms and gestures are created to articulate the many natures of water; a mirror changing with the color of its subject reflecting the nature of its place, becoming dangerous, beautiful, sharp, mournful, raging, angry, red, yellow, green, black, blue, cold and warm. Water carries away and sets down, fills and empties, races through or is still. As da Vinci observed, "In time and with water, everything changes." All these complexities are manifest in the visceral twists and curves and unrestrained palette found Connally’s work.
