Horizon by Gail Flanery

September 9th – October 17th
Opening reception: Thursday September 9, 6 -9pm

The 440 Gallery is pleased to announce “Horizon” – works on paper by Gail Flanery. In her first solo exhibition with the 440 gallery, the artist presents a series of monotypes. Flanery derives imagery from the natural world, using elements and structures in her composition that allude to landscape. Through the painterly process of monotype printmaking, she builds layers of pastel colors on top of a printed image, achieving a depth of texture and emotional resonance. Simplified forms and planes of expressive color contribute a mood and sensibility at once slightly abstract and highly atmospheric.

The artist says of her work: My artwork is inherently suggestive of landscape, although the geography is not specific. These landscapes are unpopulated. The work evolves and develops with a consideration of space and a use of color that suggests and refers to natural elements.
Please join us for an opening reception with the artist on Thursday, September 9th from 6 to 9 pm. For further information, please contact Communications Coordinator Amy Williams at (917) 862-3898.
