John Devaney
"Winter Choir" oil on canvas, 35 1/2 in. x 36 in. To be offered during our July 17th Auction
John Devaney (Contemporary, American) Anyone even thinking about taking a good look at a John Devaney
painting should first pause and breathe deep. Ready yourself intellectually by
thinking monumentally: Think double - No, triple! - banana split, oozing with
excess. Open your mind to excesses. Now apply that same exercise in provocative thought to investigating Devany's layers of allusion, paradox and symbolism. Think pulpits and theatres and Sanford Farm
vistas, August phosphorescence, disgorging ferries, New York's mid-town caverns, Time Square's cacophony Boston Brahmin and
Quaker meetings.... Imagine the dynamics
of it all - the inanimate animating the animate. Metaphors. Life masquerading
as life. Teeming.
John Devaney's paintings orchestrate a human parade, moving; eternally
moving through an ebb and flow of consciousness, abundant and sensory; emotively
staged and perfectly illuminated against the tension that lives between
symbolism and allusion, rock-solid (?) inanimate and the human condition.
~ Carolyn Walsh
