Continuing and Recommended:
John O'Brien's "Pagine Veneziane (the Venice Diaries)" are a series of lyrical mixed media drawings that combine photographically-derived images of historic Italian architecture and biomorphic modernist abstractions. The sharply delineated black and white representations, however fragmented, resonate with fantastical mid-century colors (precisely the saccharine tones used by upscale MIlano designers of that era) to evoke Post Modern temporal layering. O'Brien accomplishes this without sinking into melancholy (Kristi Engle Gallery, Highland Park)
