Dooney

The 2009 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition - Collective Exhibition
August 14 - September 2, 2009

Reception: Thursday August 20, 2009 6-8 PM

Press Release

Dooney creates abstracted expressionistic works of art that originate from his psyche rather than as a response to American culture. The works are fresh and vibrant, displaying wide ranges of color that work off each other, creating a constrained energy. The works are built, layer upon layer, as their complexities increase and are then hidden. Dooney creates his compositions entirely in color and so uses subtle plays of light and tone to draw the viewer through the paintings and tell us his story.

Dooney lives and works in Los Angeles.

Artist Statement

I work with a technique I call "CLEE" which stands for Color, Light, Energy, and Emotion. These are the four elements that shape my work, and they always have been. I live in the moment as it relates to my creative process. My technique is driven by what visually moves me to a conclusive ending. Many times I have signed a painting, thinking that it felt right and complete, only to paint over the work and start anew. This technique is part of the story-telling process, which builds up layer by layer, with each layer being an important element of the overall story.
