sally condon (at karen ruhlen gallery)

oil, wax, mixedmedia on panel : 20″ x 24″

“Sally Condon’s paintings are reflective of her love of nature and the symbols that it represents in her life. Pressed leaves and flowers become integrated in her work, subtly drawing the viewer to look closer. Her transitions of color show the mastery of her art, as she makes her own paints and wax from her surroundings. The paintings are powerful color expressions of the magic of our natural world.”

” Most of the time I enter my studio with an agenda, but then something happens, and I let the painting take me on its own journey. To be surprised while painting is the real experience, the reason to keep on doing the work. I have objects, bits and pieces, images cut from a myriad of sources and whatever I can collect that inform my work, or sometimes I actually attach materials of some kind to the surface of the painting. It is a way of going shopping every time I am in the studio. And artists love to shop in whatever form that activity can take.    We are all like blotters. I am a blotter, absorbing all the different aspects of what I experience. Painting is evolutionary, and a grand experience.”

“Between photography and painting, i’m very happy to share with you my little vision of the world and small fragments of France through these pictures.”

“These are a few of my favorite things :
Shacks with satellite dishes.
Floridian Trailer parks.
The vacant building across the street.
Dots, spots, stripes and wires.
Water, Dinghies, Live-aboards and Steamers.
Venice, Mexico, Key West and Seattle.
Time and Age. “

“There is no plan in my painting, yet there is process. I let a color, a line, a shadow dictate what comes next. The purpose is to create expression and emotion strictly out of in shape and color - completely abstract. My best works are the ones that just happen, when I allow myself to be surprised.”

“I combine the random actions of painting with controlled, deliberate markmaking to describe each form, which is often floral or plantlike in structure.”
