Red Swiss Chard oil on linen 20"x 30"
 Figure and landscape painting are usually my primary concern. However, lately still life of beautiful garden vegetables seem to be taking the fore. As time passes I recall good times, and long hours with young children and great vegetable gardens. In the little village where I used to live a few decades ago, children and garden was all we talked about. Perhaps I miss an aspect of all that. And now, with the adjustment of apartment city living, no children, or garden to talk about or to paint as subject, I find myself seeking New York City green markets. These markets provide the public with a bounteous array of vegetable varieties. This exhibition presents you with a selection of paintings from my Chard and Kale Series. They are portraits per say and my concern is to portray and celebrate their lively character, rich color, and elegant design. To view more paintings from this series visit my website link: Paintings/Chard and Kale 2015.

Press Release

Griselda Healy

Exhibition: Figure in Motion

Union Gallery

631 Howard Avenue

Staten Island, NY 10301

www.griseldahealy.com


Exhibition dates: October 2 – 27, 2012

Opening Reception: October 13

4 – 6pm with performance

Choreographer: Laurie De Vito

Performer: Mika Yanagihara


This exhibition titled “Figure in Motion“has fiscal sponsored from the New York Foundation of the Arts (NYFA). It is an interdisciplinary investigation exploring ways to capture movement- spatial and temporal- and timed movement.

The show consists of 13 large panel paintings presenting configurations of figure(s) in structured motion. The figures are set in context to New York City: specifically downtown Manhattan , with its monumental classical architecture, City Hall, the courts and the bridges,  with references to nature, sky, and water- an environment which also displays movement and stillness.

The figures in these works are drawn from dancers who modeled for many sessions in the artist’s studio. The dancers all work as a company with one of the founders of Dance New Amsterdam (DNA), choreographer Laurie De Vito.  De Vito’s work has been the grounding source for this project. The dancers have come from all parts of the globe to dance in New York City. They meet weekly to rehearse at DNA Dance Studios on Chambers Street near the courts and City Hall.

Performance is an important component for this project and exhibition, a premiere for this collaborative event. On October 13th during the opening day there will be two performances of “Struggle” by choreographer Laurie De Vito with a solo performance by Mika Yanagihara.

The Wagner College Gallery is located in the Union building on the campus of Wagner College.

Gallery hours Tuesday – Saturday 11am – 4pm with extended hours to 7pm Thursday

The Gallery may be opened by appointment. Contact artist griselda.healy@gmail.com

EXHIBITION  FIGURE IN MOTION

Sequence, Sarah Clark

Exhibition Dates have been extended until January 18, 2011

Exhibition Dates: November 18, 2010 - January 3rd 2011
  
You are cordially invited to my exhibition at the Dance New Amsterdam Gallery (DNA) 280 Broadway, 2nd floor (entrance on Chambers) New York, NY 10007.
  
Gallery hours: Monday - Sunday, 9am - 10pm
More information: 212- 625-8369/212-227-9856 www.dnadance.org
  
This Exhibition will feature works that are in process for a project titled "Figure and Motion".
  
I am in the process of working up a series of figure movement sequences; working from life with dancers as models; beginning with drawings, and small oil sketches followed by larger movement sequences using graphite and charcoal materials on horizontal scroll lengths of paper.
The figures in these works are drawn from dancers who model for me in my studio. They are a company of seven dancers and they work with one of the founders of Dance New Amsterdam (DNA), choreographer Laurie de Vito. De Vito’s work and her dance company provide me with an array of visual figure motion possibilities that to my eye elegantly express the ideas I wish to convey; visual contemporary figure movement in the context of our time and place. For my figure configurations I choose specific sequences from De Vito’s work, movement and figure shapes that have been created and inspired by composers Philip Glass and Armand Armar.
  
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the generous support of Laurie de Vito and her company of dancers: Kate Bailey, Sarah Clark, Rachel Feinerman, Sally Im, Megumi Onishi, Suzanne Reiman, Marcia Elizabeth Thompson, and the executive director of DNA Catherine Peila who made this show possible.

This project “Figure in Motion” is supported by a fiscal sponsorship from the New York Foundation of the Arts.
