d
berman gallery is pleased to present new paintings
and drawings by Owen McAuley. He says: “My paintings
are explorations of the contemporary landscape, particularly
the stranger aspects of our world at night. I attempt
to convey the mixed feelings inspired by situations
where abject banality collides with the dramatic or
sublime. One central concern is the transformative
nature of artificial light; what is mundane and forgettable
by day becomes a network of shifting realities, each
defined by its color and intensity of light. I hope
in these paintings to create a psychological presence
that parallels the intense feelings of wonder or dread
that the places portrayed can inspire in reality.”
Mr. McAuley received his MFA from The University of
Texas at Austin in 2003 and currently maintains his
studio in New York.
