 Boston, MA. JEANNIE MOTHERWELL Profoundly Fun  Existential Crisis, acrylic on cradeled panel, 40″ x 30″ x 2″ M Fine Arts Galerie presents PROFOUNDLY FUN, a solo show of new abstract paintings by artist Jeannie Motherwell. The artist, who trained at Bard College and the Art Students League in NYC, finds inspiration in landscapes—earthly or otherwise. A New York City native, Motherwell spent countless seasons on Cape Cod, a place that continues to maintain a special place in her heart and oeuvre. Just as relevant to her work as the waves, the light, and the bay, are stars, galaxies, and nebulae. Indeed, the act of looking at a Motherwell is to be transported out of the room—in this case, a window-lined gallery in Boston’s SoWa Art & Design district. Where you end up is anyone’s guess.  Windward, acrylic on cradeled panel, 20″ x 60″ x 2″ “In exploring space, I try to make space. I am intrigued with complex and expansive space on a flat surface. The painting process I use creates the unexpected for me. By pouring and pushing paint, I can engage in the element of surprise, often using a bright and intense palette, or through my continued passion for black and white. In process, while editing, I employ undulating, bleeding, and layering, as my paintings are often inspired by the mysteries of outer space and what astronauts often refer to as “inner space” (the skies and the sea).” -Jeannie Motherwell PROFOUNDLY FUN features new works in acrylic and oil on clay boards, a fine porcelain surface upon which saturated hues spill, swirl, and seep, with rich contours feathering out into delicious white space.  Be Known, acrylic on cradeled panel, 48″ x 36″ x 2″ For the Silo, Madison Maushart. PROFOUNDLY FUN runs until October 31 M Fine Arts Galerie 460 Harrison Ave C24 Boston, MA 02118 |
