This event has ended.

Donna Moylan’s third show with Michael Steinberg Fine Art is both a continuation and a deepening of her exploration of the landscape. Imagined, invented, and inspired, sometimes populated and sometimes desolately devoid of human life, Moylan’s new works hover in the uncanny domain between the remembered and the repressed. The range in scale, from an almost medieval miniature to a near baroque grandeur, formally transmits the artist’s dual concern with microcosmic and macrocosmic alternate worlds. The tightly focused group of paintings and works on paper included in Landscape with Meaning allow a profound understanding and recognition of the painterly skills at Moylan’s disposition.

Writing about an earlier show Barry Schwabsky commented; “Delicate and blunt, intricate and slapdash, serene and lurid commingle; painstaking ornamental elaboration turns into the impatient, sweeping gesture that would wipe the slate clean; abstract forms and spontaneous effects bump up against precisely rendered images, not without surprise but certainly without antagonism.”
