Featured Artist - Flynn Geissel flynngeissel Exhibition Title: Flowers and Waterfalls The current exhibit showcases a series of paintings and two-dimensional constructions that compel the viewer to confront nature on her own terms. A walk around the exhibit is a visual cascade, enveloping the viewer in enormous flowers and frozen waterfalls of color. The series of works is inspired by the movement of water, the power of storm clouds, and the delicate form of flowers. In fact, the sheer size of the works allows the viewer to experience organic textures in new and surprising ways. Layers of thick paint are combined with light washes of color, almost using oil paint as a transparent watercolor medium. In each piece there is a feeling of hidden forces, of something just out of reach - this makes us lean into the works. Light and shadow are mingled, letting us feel that each piece may reveal a dark and beautiful truth. This portfolio makes the viewer directly confront their internal relationship with the power of nature. In many canvases, the artist uses extensive glaze work, layering color over color to build a perceived three dimensional color space. The viewer engages in an insight-based discovery process as his/her awareness moves among the many visual layers. The body of work deals with perception and how we relate as an object to the ever-moving demands of our environment. Which aspects of the painting are solid and which are fluid? What aspects of self are solid and which are fluid - moving in response to an ever-changing environment? Flynn states, “The exhibit is an homage to the feeling of reunion and cleansing we receive from nature. It affirms the power of nature to change us, to make us better.” Internationally exhibited artist Flynn Geissel began her art career in the unlikely profession of psychology. Serving two masters, the artist studied painting and psychology, completing a doctoral degree in psychology. Discovering a wealth of artistic material in the study of dreams, the unconscious, and the healing stories of many cultures, the artist moved further into art as a life calling. Flynn’s work has been exhibited in two American museums, in London UK, and regularly on the New York art scene.
