James Feehan

Solo exhibition

Opening Reception

November 9th 6pm - 9pm

Exhibition on View November 9th - November 19th

"For as long as I can remember James Feehan’s magically surreal scenes have populated the landscapes of our river towns. His worlds are ethereal by nature but his figures are pensive- even if expressing delight. His work touches on an idea of narrative that invites the viewer in- they are warm- even if dark, familiar - even if they are mysterious. Feehan occasionally uses subtle historical troupes that are rewarding for the versed art historian but are not so esoteric that greenhorn art-appreciators feel neglected.

I have always found myself in awe of his very unique artistic voice. It’s a song where the renaissance cross dresses with American folk, while leading the surreal into a spin of the uncanny to bring us something unexpected, new and contemporary."
