Artist Leslie Nolan in February 2022 with curator Dr. Erich Keel, formerly Head of Education at the Kreeger Museum, at Washington, DC’s Arts Club of Washington for the opening of her solo exhibition at the first member meeting of 2022. Such a wonderful place with terrific staff and members. Keeping the arts alive in the nation’s capital!
Thrilled to have my this charming painting on exhibit in Korea at the CICA Museum, Czong Institute of Contemporary Art, in Gimpo-Si. The International Exhibition Form 2022 showcases the work of contemporary artists and covers topics of forms, shapes, and media. I’m honored for the selection.
Disfigure 1 is a portrait of a man in bold orange, yellow and black. Stark and direct, at the same time it exudes a tender emotion which could be contemplative or calm. He appears at peace and thoughtful. This 10 inch by 10 inch acrylic paint on canvas commands attention while open to many interpretations.
This darling painting and three more of my newest works are being featured at Calloway Fine Art & Consulting during Art All Night, a special city-wide event of art galleries, music and libation. Stop by and check out this fun and exciting event from 6-10 pm on Friday, September 23rd. Where: Calloway Fine Art & Consulting, 1643 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington, DC.
Loving this new artwork, 48×48 inches. Mysterious, hip and charming. Looks terrific in any space.
Rodrigo, above, and 14 other paintings of mine – many completed the past two years during the pandemic – are on exhibit at the delightful Arts Club of Washington in February 2022. This show represents my newest work in abstract contemporary figure painting with an emphasis on faces and emotions.
In these paintings I reconsider how to view the human form, particularl as it relates to conditions of stress and fragility. Using color, texture and composition, I apply different degrees of abstraction to reveal the intimacy of a private experience.
