Madeline
O’Connor Retrospective
May
9 – July 20, 2008
Madeline
O'Connor described her reductivist process
as akin to peeling back the leaves of
an artichoke "to find the most succulent
part." She generally started with the
woods around her south Texas home, its
fragile ecology and gloriously hued birds.
After reducing her inspiration to its
absolute core, she ended up with a variety
of geometrically shaped canvases painted
in solid tones. This exhibit will be the
first since the artist’s death in 2002.

into his mystical characters and compositions
that take on a life of their own.
