| | | From Saturday, January 23 through Saturday, March 6, the Windsor Art Center presents, in their gallery, Horizons / Transitions: Paintings and drawings by Cathy Doocy. Ms. Doocy has selected works for this exhibition that make particularly clear her unique, playful, and imaginative way of creating art. Drawing on her collage of memories, Ms. Doocy explores composition, color, and line as she paints a landscape that is no particular landscape. The result is simply the magic that happens when she has fun messing around with where she places the horizon, or what twigs and branches appear from a line she draws there. She invites viewers to engage in their own process of exploration by experiencing the feelings her paintings evoke and by making connections with the landscapes in their own memories of place.
Ms. Doocy has also selected works from her A Drawing a Day series for display and gifting. These charcoal drawings are part of 365 drawings Ms. Doocy did each day in 2015. She states that she often starts her day in the studio with a small charcoal drawing to help her leave the outside world behind and begin to create. There is the bonus that no matter what, at the end of the day she would have one little square of art! |
