ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
Called an inheritor of the Color School (May 2012,
DCArtNews,
blogspot.com),
Nancy Donnelly strives for something like realism, but with respect for
abstraction. Her work, both 3-D and wall-hung, reveals an amused interest
in the actual world. There's at least one joke in this show!
Trained as a painter, Donnelly discovered glass as an art
medium a few years ago and realized what a gorgeous and difficult material
it is. Now, she has looked past the beauty of glass and overcome the
technical difficulties to focus on the purpose, the narrative, the meaning of
art work -- not the decorative qualities but the need to speak about life and
the world.
These days she is consciously bringing drawing and
painting back into her work, working bigger, and melding glass with other
materials, as well as making more art on paper. She describes her
work as "trying and trying to say something without words."
