Susie Phillips
Seed Blossom Fruit


With the current exhibition, Seed Blossom Fruit, Susie Phillip's continues her foray into the still life, choosing not to render her objects with placid and calm imagery, but with a bold and skewed perspective reminiscent of the later still lifes of Cézanne and Matisse.
Susie Phillip's flattened pictures, with neither foreground nor background, but simply the surface of the work, indulge in romantic energy. In addition to the pastels, the exhibition will also feature several small-scale collages.

PROJECT ROOM

Kelly O'Connor
Wonderland

San Antonio artist Kelly O'Connor will exhibit, Wonderland. This will be the artist's first exhibition in Dallas.
O'Connor's use of appropriated Disney characters in her mixed media collages smartly tell of a storybook world new and exciting. In one such work, Kidnapped, Alice has been trapped in a net at the top of a mountain by Pinocchio.
Kelly O'Connor is a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and has shown recently at Gallery Urbane in Marfa, Texas, Blue Star art Space in San Antonio and the 2007 Texas Biennial.
