Richard Eagan "Obscured Offerings"
440 Gallery
This event has ended.
In the upcoming January exhibit, Eagan presents two strains of his characteristic constructed paintings, picking up themes from early work and bringing them forward. Two fairly large works are presented, each with a series of smaller “satellite” pieces that expand on the themes of the larger.
In one series, Mr. Eagan’s familiar “bursting” elements are brought into play in pieces suggestive of the critical decline of the artist’s beloved amusement beach at Coney Island.
In the second series, variations on the “target” theme are worked in an introspective, mysterious way, recalling the last days of the live-ammunition shooting galleries on the streets of Coney.
