I wanted to share some images of a very exciting artist we are showing this month, Seamus Conley. We are thrilled to be showing him and hope you like his work as much as we do. His show, "I Think We're Alone Now" opens Friday March 8th 2013. Please contact us for additional information.
" Seamus Conley shows dreamily hazy paintings of figures in beautiful if somewhat foreboding fantastical landscapes. His work is a blend of photo-realistic imagery and moody magical realism. His enigmatic paintings feature people with their back predominantly to the viewer or faces concealed in some manner, often a hard visual trick to pull off yet executed successfully through Conley's combination of intricate detail and romantically isolated atmospheres. Dressed in modern clothing, his subjects are often juxtaposed against (and sometimes gazing longingly at) epic, timeless landscapes, or modern settings that nonetheless have a dreamlike, pristine aura, evoking contemplation of the transient nature of time, our place in the world, and moments of transcendence found in even the seemingly mundane." - Kirsten Anderson
Seamus Conley is a painter from Los Angeles, currently living and working in San Francisco. He is a recipient of the Pollock Krasner Award, and his paintings have been exhibited, published, and collected in the US and Internationally.
