Christopher McVinish: Silent Observations

Christopher McVinish: Silent Observations
Opening July 30 at Eva Breuer Art Dealer

Silent Observations continues McVinish's investigation of the landscape and the figure in the landscape. In these new paintings the scenes depicted are at once familiar but at the same time contain an element of psychological drama. The landscapes and their solitary inhabitants address viewers role as filmic voyeur. We are invited to become a participant in the story being portrayed, to attach our own history to the painting. Through the painting we enter into our own story looking for the unexpected, some piece of information that will unveil the mysterious world before us.
