seen and liked : Donna Quinn at Rosenfeld Gallery

June 5 - 26 2011

In the back of Rosenfeld Gallery are an array of luscious, rich, yummy paintings by Donna Quinn. The canvases have much to say with their layered color fields, obliterated, scratched, and prodded with a vocabulary that transverses the square paintings with familiarity, not necessarily ease.  The colors invite you, envelop you, sometimes they glow.

Ms Quinn titles her works in ways that suggest a narrative and take you on a journey — one square at a time.

artist statement:

My paintings document both a deliberate and spontaneous creative process that strives to achieve balance and contentment through trial, error, investigation and discovery. The resulting imagery describes regions of space inhabited on fields of color with organic lines and repetitive shapes that produce relationships suggesting tension, harmony and their struggle to co-exist.
