Greenwich CT. The Greenwich Art Society proudly presents “The Figure as Abstract Composition” recent paintings by Nancy W. McFarland. A solo exhibition by Nancy W. McFarland from the artist’s personal collection from February 2 – February 28, 2020 at the Greenwich Art Society Gallery.“Painting is the culmination of my life of image making. It alone is the ultimate gratification that comes from the sheer joy of directly applying soft, buttery oil paint to a beautifully textured surface in order to present new views of our common bodies’ landscapes—by coming in close to the exquisite interstices, large and small, within the surfaces of the figure; those we hardly notice, but that exist in all humans, and then to discover the magnificent geometry, design, surface texture, varying light dynamics and surprise abstract shapes. This visual joy is what I aim to convey to the viewer of my paintings.” according to Ms. McFarland.
Nancy has recently received the 2019 Dagny Hultgreen Prize for Painting at the Greenwich Arts Society 102nd Annual Exhibition at the Bendheim Gallery. She works from her studio in Westport, Connecticut.
