James Kandt: Wichita Eagle

Clare Champion - June 1, 2007
The vibrant paintings of Patrick Walshe teem with energy as they capture both the form and spirit of the rolling landscape that surrounds his home in Ireland. "My struggle is to strip my work of unnecessary conceptual subtext, so that if the idea can be better conveyed in words it should not be painted. Painting should be like a symphony, untranslatable, a discipline unto itself" Jessica Quinn reviews artist Patrick Walshe for the Claire Champion.

Nella Lush in Elements of Structure
Artist Nella Lush tells a visual tale of emotion, of mood in its purest manifestation, immersing the viewer into a dimension where time and the material world no longer exist. She creates atmosphere by deconstructing shape and form; the vibrant space of the large, abstract paintings telling a different story to each viewer. Her fluid brushwork, loose, unstructured contours and luminous color palette of blues and greens or earthy yellows and oranges sparkle with the Mediterranean influences of her native Italy.
