Opening Reception: September 10, 2009 6 - 9 PM
Continuing the thematic explorations of his prior work, McCloskey’s new paintings distill an evolving vision of the
artist as existential medium. In a series of images focused on the consecrated space of the artist’s studio,
McCloskey illustrates a world in which the trial of the spirit takes center stage as his subjects--painters and their
paintings--grapple with the process of transmuting the dross of life into the refinement of art. Exuberant,
allusive, and anxious, these paintings evidence an abiding faith in the redemptive powers of creation, even as
they acknowledge the violence inherent in the act.
