Quogue Gallery is pleased to present “Eugene Healy: Recent Paintings.” The exhibition will feature 23 works newly painted by the artist. About Healy’s work, Peter Hastings Falk, Chief Curator and Editor of Discoveries in American Art, writes, “Many of Healy’s paintings are abstractions of shore scenes, being places that have evoked particular moods and feelings in the artist. And it is those feelings that he so effectively materializes with mediums ranging from oil, watercolor, encaustic, oil crayon, lacquers, and colored pencil applied to fragments of canvas, boards, and paper.” Falk adds, “ Healy is one of the few abstract painters today who have clearly grasped “significant form” . . . that is, the orchestration of lines, shapes, and colors into certain combinations and relationships so that the completed work evokes an aesthetic ecstasy. They move us. It’s just that simple . . . yet so immensely difficult to pull off.”
