Gone Tomorrow Art Gallery featuring artist Ursula O’Farrell

“Emotional Color Vibes”

“Ursula O’Farrell’s paintings are in the tradition of Bay Area gestural figure painting. With an intense bravura brush she applies juicy paint, reminiscent of some of the pictures by Elmer Bischoff and David Park. Yet her agitated vibrating surfaces are more abstract than those of her predecessors. Women are the theme of her work, sometimes painted in red and integrated in a complementary green background. They remind us of Nathan Oliveira’s paintings or those of the British painter Frank Auerbach.”
