From the Press Release

Janet Olney’s serpentine marks and geometric forms utilize smooth gradients and drop shadows to create complex spatial ambiguities. To stand out from her Baltimore peers, Olney has developed a signature visual language with a distinct sensibility to color and illusion, introducing the viewer to both the seen and the unseen. She thinks about how our experiences influence perception in ways beyond our awareness.


ABSTRACTION  will be on view at C. Grimaldis Gallery from September 15 through November 5, 2022. A reception will take place on Thursday, September 15th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM.
