Carmen Cicero "In the Still of the Night"
June Kelly Gallery
This event has ended.
In the Still of the Night, an exhibition of new paintings by Carmen Cicero —meticulously rendered dreamlike landscapes luminous with moonlight — is currently being shown at the June Kelly Gallery. Cicero’s evocative scenarios reflect the artist’s psychic response to areas he knows well – the tip of Cape Cod and Manhattan’s Bowery, as well as scenes from art of the past. The works, he says, reflect his continued fascination with themes that are deeply personal and enigmatic. The result is surreal paintings that are hypnotic in their eerie quietness and unnerving and provocative in their mystery, a dream dreamt countless times before.
The commonplace sites and figures highlighted in Cicero’s quirky yet realistic fictions include a snowy landscape with a lone, foppish trespasser from Shakespearean re, desolate forests, a winding road with haunting silhouettes of over-arching trees, an automobile with headlights turned on traveling an iceberg-lined road, all bathed in moonlight that imbues them with an uncanny dreamlike aura.
