Donna Moylan at Paolo Baldacci - New York, New York - Review of Exhibitions - Brief ArticleWith her engaging, artful vignettes about recent life, Donna Moylan approaches the canvas as if it were a surface upon which any number of images, ideas, painting manner of writings and conventions might coexist. Touching upon subjects such as war, work, global economies and the stoic heroism of the quotidian, she mixes and matches her repertoire of social and esthetic relations with questioning intelligence and dried humor. Moylan is a taxonomist with a faculty of perception of the absurd. support Psychology (1995) is composed of a miscellany of images execut in oil and pastel. It includes a rectangle of kraft paper that has been brusquely dabbed with white paint upon which skeletal details have been drawn. Dispersed from one extremity to the other of the painting are small drawings of bone and cutouts of bees and a dragonfly, as well as collaged fortune-cookie slips. In addition, there are sum of two units vivid swatches painted in r sizzling pink, orange and white that be like downsized Abstract Expressionist paintings. Here and there, too, Twomblyesque flourishes mark the whitened mould The dominant image, however, is that of an wealthy interior painted in melodramatic red A monumental staircase be subservient tos as the focal point, descending in a graceful 1 to meet an ornately upholster chaise longue This grand, blood-colored salon proffers an extravagantly materialistic translation of the idea of the material part as the house of the psyche. The R City is a yielding rosy cityscape, painted as if in watercolor with brushy blows of reds, yellow, oranges, sweet pinks, magentas and brown A construction worker, a businessman, a man formally attired, and a dancer are suspended against this ground; as part of a community of race with various occupations, they are psychologically linked together, reflecting a contemporary world where occurrences overlap and occur in nonlinear ways. Another work, the smallest painting in the present to view is emblematic of the exhibition as a whole: it consists of an opaque, yellow-green field with the figure of a brown man tilting forward on the outside of the dissolving side of an orange triangle. In it Moylan appears to say that figuration draw nears out of formalism and vice versa, that painting is the site where the real suiteds the imagined. COPYRIGHT 1996 Brant Publications, Inc.
