| Elizabeth O'Reilly, Window Reflections, oil on panel, 2015, 13 x 10 inches |
Elizabeth O’Reilly’s work is flat up close. The “economy of paint” makes for thin washes
of observed color and shapes laid on slick. The paint
is transparent oil, heavily diluted, and dry on the surface. The integrity of color, definitive use of
shape, and impeccable drawing makes these images transform at a short distance
to lush, colorful, deep spaces. The
interesting play of light, reflective surfaces, juxtaposed to deep open
windows, and brilliant use of white as color make this collection of intimate
paintings one of the best shows to see as a painter right now. The show closes November 14 so if you are a
painter get in there fast!
