/Diane McGeachy — Sleeping Animals

  |
/exhibition information/SLEEPING ANIMALS is a collection of whimsical paintings inspired by my continued interest in habitats, bio-diversity and the potential impact of encroaching human activities. These paintings employ bold and illustrative images that allow fragments of subtle narratives to emerge. Bright hues harmoniously blend drawing and painting; pictorial edges taper in a manner that echoes traditional vignettes; plants, animals and trees playfully collide on the surface. Visual scale and spatial relationships collapse in compositions where oversized animals hug undersized trees. The natural world as habitat is paramount in this work.
