Follow on Google News | transFORM Gallery's Spring Art Exhibit, Opening Reception: Larger than LIFEThe Opening Reception will be held on Saturday, March 5th from 5 to 8pm at transFORM's New Rochelle Showroom and Gallery, sponsored by Westchester Magazine.
By: transFORM Photo Realistic artists S.J. Riley a.k.a. Sonne Hernandez and Michael Thornton-Smith paint life as we know it – this time depicted exceedingly bigger, more impressive, evocative and memorable. Brooklyn based artist, S J Riley, focuses in on the details and movement of her subject. Her abstract photo-realism oil paintings evoke the viewer to both come closer and stand back to visually process her paintings. The subject matter is blown up or in movement to the point where the contents become hidden. The absence of hard lines and instead soft-layered brushstrokes’ Michael Thornton-Smith’s Dandelion 2, began with an exploration into the dynamic forms and saturated colors of selected flowers. “As I became more comfortable working with a subject matter I had shied away from previously; I began to play with enormity, scale and abstraction of the subject attempting to achieve a luminosity inherent in particular varieties of flowers. The dandelion flower gone to seed became a jumping off point to create cosmic mandalas of light. At first they were monochromatic paintings concentrating on the essence of form but eventually led to working with ethereal and tertiary colors. This is an ongoing project.” What: “Larger Than Life” Exhibited Works by SJ Riley a.k.a. Sonne Hernandez & Michael Thornton-Smith When: Opening Reception, March 5th from 5-8pm.
