Fascination with texture as a
component of color and shape is apparent in the work of both these artists.
Allusive of the natural world, they are direct and accessible. Yet surface
abstraction is paramount to the success of these art pieces—the texture of the
glass complements layered textures in the paintings. These works complement
each other and pull the exhibit in new and exciting visual directions. Both
artists find negative space crucial to this effect, moments of rest that
energize each work and in this sense make each more complete. Donnelly and
Finsen’s works provide tension between familiarity and abstraction and at the
same time question placement within imagined space.
