June 7-26, 2015 Providence Art Club, "Italian Landscapes - Color and Light" is a solo showcase of colorful interpretations of Italian landscape by the exuberant Madolin Maxey, whose paintings are explosions of feeling. They communicate what she describes as a "burst of joy" and creative energy after almost four years struggling with and recovering from serious eye surgery. In these compositions, Maxey is
flying overhead and around the space as if in a childlike
dreamscape of color and light. While the Italian landscapes are real locations traveled by
the artist, the final paintings are, to her, imaginative
maps. Land, sky, and sea are presented at odd angles and
distorted points-of-view, as if Maxey's seeing multiple directions
simultaneously. |
