MAUREEN RENAHAN-KRINSLEY’S LIGHT AND FLOW AND ON THE ROAD
Posted on April 13, 2017 by Schoolhouse Theater
Maureen Renahan-Krinsley builds on the associations of memory and experience and has been inspired by travel and impressions of different cultures and landscapes. Her intentions are to convey emotional reactions to a particular place.
Our two galleries will highlight two themes. Light and Flow focuses on clarity, arousal and connectedness. Landscapes are utilized as both tangible subjects and their ability to act as metaphors for life and transforma
tion.
As an artist, I am constantly inspired by the ever-changing nature of the world around me. One subject that has particularly captured my attention is the humble cloud. To me, clouds represent the constant state of transformation that is a part of life.
In my paintings of clouds, I seek to capture the fleeting and ephemeral quality of these natural formations. The way they shift and change in the sky is a metaphor for the way that life is always in motion, always changing and evolving.
Through the use of color, form, and composition, I aim to convey the sense of movement and transformation that is at the heart of my work. I hope that my paintings of clouds will inspire viewers to reflect on the way that change is a constant presence in our lives, and to embrace the beauty and possibility that it brings.
On the Road is inspired by The Schoolhouse Theater and Arts Center’s April theatrical production of ‘The Mask of the Jaguar King’, which led Renahan-Krinsley to imagine herself within a Mayan jungle, observing the characters of the play from a distance, as a voyeur. They were initiated during travel which triggered immediate visceral responses. See the play, view the gallery, can you see the connection?
No Entrance Fee – Open Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays 11 am – 2:45 pm and by appointment. Show runs through May 31.
