Opening Fri 10/7 @ 6PM
Timothy Callaghan’s paintings capture slices of Cle life recognizable to anyone in the area. He paints blank storefronts, old convenience stores and hidden landmarks. See his work in Easel Pictures (Edge of the World) opening on Fri 10/7 @ Arts Collinwood.
Official bio: “Timothy Callaghan is a painter who lives and works in Cleveland, Ohio. His paintings depict a modern American Mid-west landscape. His work is about space, the physical space of his immediate environment and the flat space that defines twentieth-century painting. Because the practice of painting predominantly concerns itself with the sensation of looking, he approaches the work with this in mind. He locates himself within the traditions of genre painting, such as landscape or still life, seeking to sustain this principle of painting that relies upon optical elements and that reinforce significance and joy.”
