Brian Ormond "IIWII"
Foley Gallery
This event has ended.
Foley Gallery presents an exhibition of paintings by Brian Ormond.
Inspired by the natural lines of the urban environment, Ormond creates networks of lines that might resemble road maps full of streets, alleyways and off ramps.
Each painted panel is layered with oil, which is then meticulously removed by etching with soft and hard strokes, creating a variety of markings. Sometimes scratched beyond recognition, Ormond tests the ability of the line to sustain and guide us through the painting.
Muted in their palette of dark and cool tones and energized by frenetic line work, Ormond's paintings both gently soothe in their color and create strong movement with their line.
