SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PNAN) – On view at the Jack Fischer Gallery through Saturday, April 9, 2022, “two solos: oil and clay” are paintings of Jenny Bloomfield and the sculptures of Dennis O’Leary.
Bloomfield says about her paintings, “making broad abstract marks…then finding their own rhythm and composition.” As layers are built up, the nature of the paintings begin to assert themselves whereas they are not pretty or decorative paintings, but they straddle that fine line between abstract and figurative.

O’Leary’s sculptures shows “manipulating very wet clay into a rough abstract shape before carving the still wet forms into a completed state” which are governed by the inherent qualities of the clay and the intuitive aspect of the artist’s hands as the clay and the hands find the dance. https://dennisoleary1.wixsite.com/ceramicsculpture/about
