“Rome inspires reflection on the passage of time over millennia; the city is infused with a sense of mortality set against the pageantry of daily life.” - Maureen O’Leary
Cristin Tierney Gallery is pleased to present ROMA, a new series of paintings by Maureen O’Leary, at the Dallas Art Fair. The fair opens with a preview day on Thursday, April 4th, and continues through Sunday, April 7th.
The works from ROMA were completed during and after O’Leary’s recent residency at the American Academy in Rome. Taking the city and its inhabitants as her subject, the artist’s paintings are a tribute to the blend of past and present permeating Roman life. Central themes in the series include “macchine, alberi, monumenti, donne, e vita” (cars, trees, monuments, women, and life).
