Iconic Women on Canvas

“Eliza Geddes's portraits of iconic women are built up by layering and removing paint and adding texture to the canvas with brushstrokes using such unconventional materials as house paint, a putty knife, and vintage newsprint. The artist uses similar techniques for non-figurative mixed-media works that feature vintage advertisements.”

Phyllis Baker Hammond honored with retrospective at J. Mackey Gallery in East Hampton

“Today, McEnerney owns J. Mackey Gallery in East Hampton, where the first-ever full retrospective is being held to honor the work of the sculptor she met that fateful day, Phyllis Baker Hammond. The exhibition, “Phyllis Baker Hammond: Take Flight,” is on view through Sept. 1 and traces the 94-year-old’s remarkable creative trajectory — from the thrown clay vessels she started to make in Japan in the 1950s, to her commanding bronze angels of the 1970s and ’80s, to the large aluminum abstractions she began shaping with a hammer and anvil in her East End studio as an octogenarian.

“[Ellen Ball] employs large-scale mixed-media paintings to explore the tension between women’s empowerment and entrapment by beauty standards and conventional expectations. With an emphasis on iconic forms distilled to their abstract minimal shapes, lines, and contours, her work has been described as “highly textural, ripe with visual tension and questions of interpretation.”

J. Mackey Gallery to present “The Art of Arthur Pinajian”

“Pinajian was called “a creative force” who “can be ranked among the best artists of his era” by the esteemed art historian Dr. William Innes Homer, who examined the work and associated Pinajian with a number of New York Abstract Expressionists, such as William de Kooning, Franz Kline and Philip Guston. Like so many artistic geniuses, however, Pinajian never received public attention in his lifetime.”

She charted her own course ever since”

“Utilizing a self-discovered process, Ball works with found imagery which she reinterprets by layering paint, papers, textiles and unexpected mediums to create a new and unique composition. “Deliberate juxtapositions and purposefully degraded imagery prompt questions about beauty, perfection, and issues surrounding contemporary icon “worship”, devotional imagery and the pressures put on 21st century women,” [Ellen Ball] states.”
