Elizabeth Neel at Monica De Cardenas Galleria (Milan)

Love the frenetic application of the oil paint and surprising combinations of colors.  Neel pulls and pushes at the edge of representation in this show and in most of her paintings in a way that never steps over the line into annoying.  By abstracting from the subject's form and shape, her paintings observe the emotional and psychic energy around the object.

And isn't it nice to have an abstract artist that appears to be generally happy?  She comes into her talent via grandma. 

Shown here is 'Raised Ranch', 2009, oil on canvas, 211x244 cm  More can be seen at

Go see art and make up your own mind.
