We need not remind you about our love and impressed writing and conversations about and with Danielle Mckinney: she has been the cover of the print edition and a current visitor on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast. Clearly, a part of our admiration and curiosity within the work is the suspension of time in her works, this type of unbelievable sense of intimacy, non-era-defined scenes, the solitary energy of being alone. They’re, certainly, highly effective works. For TEFAF Maastricht, Marianne Boesky will pair the smokey, compelling and singular works of Mckinney with Edward Hopper, he too a painter of suspended time and nostalgic loneliness. It’s, in so some ways, an ideal duo.
Because the gallery notes, “Situating solitary figures in meticulously crafted settings, Mckinney attracts on the hanging, cinematic high quality of sunshine and shadow and the extraordinary, unsettling voyeurism so attribute of Hopper’s portray. The ‘palpable presence’ of sunshine that curator Barbara Haskel identifies in Hopper’s work can also be current in Mckinney’s intimate canvases.”
Although the artists labored over a century other than one another, there may be an emotional simularity and comparions to be made. They’ve a sound, they’ve juxtaposed universes that really feel that point on a clock doesn’t matter to both of those artists, however time spent with a second. —Evan Pricco
