JOHN McCORMICK<br />
Water Journey<br />
<strong>February</strong> 5–28, <strong>2009</strong><br />
Opening Reception: Thursday, <strong>February</strong> 5, 6:00–8:00 p.m.<br />
John McCormick’s recent work demonstrates current concerns about the environment with such<br />
images as a nautilus shell hovering above a crashing surf, winged predators who depend on water, and<br />
men rowing through landscapes scarred by the human presence. Yet the artist is also interested in<br />
historical painting between the Civil War and the Armory Show. He appropriates scullers from Thomas<br />
Eakins’ paintings, making them time travelers in his contemporary landscapes. The blue lines at the bottom<br />
and top of some of the paintings denote the sky and water as blue parallels between which we exist.<br />
These oils are executed on surfaces varying from panel and linen to the lids of cigar boxes.<br />
Water Planet, 2008, oil on cigar box, 8.5 x 5.5 inches<br />
