Connie Connally paints stunning canvases of complex elegance, with imagery that merges harmoniously and nearly completely both representational reference and powerful abstraction. Connally’s poetic colorscapes, with their expressive brushwork, sweeping gestural marks and animated cadence, reflect the artist’s passion for distilling the essence of her observations of nature and situate her work as the vital interplay between memory and imagination. Her palette of organic color and calligraphic brushstroke combine to serve as imprint of the artist’s profound love of being in nature and the desire that her painting reflect both her exterior and interior experience of it.
Citing Joan Mitchell as an important influence on her work, Connally employs exuberant, impassioned colors laid on her canvases in a pictorial strategy that teeters between the action painting of her abstract expressionist forebears and a more refined personal style that modulates the strokes and dabs that comprise her surfaces. Her layers of brushstroke read less as agitated ruptures and more like intuitive, sensual experiences rendered as prismatic atmospheres of color and tone. Rich, multi-layered surfaces of color morph, coalesce and scatter in quietly energetic rhythms that evoke the experience of being surrounded by nature.
Connally's’ work has been exhibited and collected extensively across the United States and is included in museum and private collections internationally.
"CONNIE CONNALLY WORKS MOST CLEARLY WITH WHAT WE RECOGNIZE AS GESTURAL ABSTRACTION, ASSOCIATED WITH ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM. CONNALLY HAS FOCUSED, HOWEVER, ON A NOTABLE SUBSET OF SUCH GESTURAL PAINTING, ONE RECOGNIZED IN THE HEYDAY OF ACTION PAINTING AND EVEN CITED THEN TO LI ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM WITH VITAL PRECEDENTS (E.G. THE LATE IMPRESSIONISM OF MONET, THE EARLY ABSTRACTIONS OF KANDINSKY). LIKE SUCH PRECEDENTS, CONNALLY DISTINGUISHES HERSELF AS, IN ESSENCE, A LANDSCAPE PAINTER, ALBEIT ONE WHO PAINTS THE LANDSCAPE SHE FEELS AS MUCH AS SHE PAINTS THE ONE SHE SEES. INDEED, CONNALLY’S STRESS ON SENSUOUS FORM AND COLOR EXPERIENCE THROUGH REFERENCE TO NATURAL PHENOMENA (IN PARTICULAR VEGETATION AND WATER, NORMALLY IN MOTION) PLACES ITSELF SQUARELY IN A TRADITION PARTICULAR TO THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE. JOHN MARIN’S EXPANSIVE RHAPSODIES ON THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE EXEMPLIFY THIS TRADITION, AS DOES JOAN MITCHELL’S GRADUAL – BUT ULTIMATELY THOROUGH – ADOPTION OF LANDSCAPE QUALITIES AND REFERENCES. THIS SORT OF “PLEIN AIR ABSTRACTION” DEFINES CONNALLY’S WORK, BUT HER PARTICULAR TOUCH AND PALETTE, AND HER CLOSE AND VIBRANT SENSE OF ATMOSPHERE, DISTINGUISHES IT."

View AllSailing to the Sun, Reflection in the Water, Oil , Abstract Landscape, Nature
Located in Houston, TX
Sailing into the Sun is an abstract landscape painting. It is oil on canvas. It is gallery wrapped so there is no need for a frame.
On a summer morning in 1993 a 22 years old young came to Florida from a small old town in the central area of Cuba called Santa Clara. In his bag, he brought no more than two valuable things, his worn-out brushes and a great dream. The dream to one day become a professional artist in this new land that welcomed him with open arms.
Captivated by his love for the beauty of the Landscapes, his last works are what he sees even in the most common scenes: the close relationship of life and who we are with the natural world around us that asks us to respect and care for it.
Artist Statement:
" I like to scrutinize in the simple things, sometimes it is there where the lost painting is waiting to be found by the painter's eyes.
The landscape painting gives me the opportunity to establish a close relationship with the natural world and humbly capture on a canvas a little of its beauty listening to its voice that reminds us how valuable we are and how much we should love it".
