“Joy In Motion: Figure & Ground” by Eileen Kane
Combining her love of the figure and organic forms, multi-media painter Eileen Kane presents a series of blissful works that suggest movement within specific landscapes. The figures seem to sway and dance among the flowers and leaves, buoyed by the energy emitted by the electric colors. Though different in style and subject, the two groups of pieces resonate with line, color and form.
