VEIL

Press Release-   21 June 2017

Connecticut artist Nancy L. Greco, will unveil new work at the Maple and Main Gallery in Chester, Connecticut on September 1st. The show theme is “Veil."

Greco’s month-long exhibition features recent oil paintings and pencil drawings of familiar objects set in imaginary theaters where dream figures and archetypes tug at the viewer’s visual expectations – literally lifting the viewer’s veil of logic and sense.

“’Veil’ continues my exploration of the thresholds and transitions that we encounter throughout our lives,” said Greco. “This is especially relevant today as we seem to awaken to a new world every day. We are constantly in transition, constantly peeking behind veils, constantly experiencing the jolt of loss or the celebration of gain.” Greco heightens the sense of transition by inserting doors and windows in unlikely places in her compositions. She magnifies this sense by fading the edges of her sharply rendered objects into
cloud-like texture or even blank space.

Artist Talk: Sunday, September 10 at 4 pm.

A master class in drawing will be offered on Wednesday, September 27 from 1-3 pm. Please contact the gallery to participate:  860-526-6065.
