Willy Heeks

Description

American painter Willy Heeks opens a solo exhibition at Brian Gross Fine Art on July 3, with an opening reception on Thursday, July 10 from 5:30-7:30 pm. Heeks, based in Rhode Island, has been creating luminous abstract paintings for over thirty years. In recent paintings, he further explores complex spatial relationships through the use of pattern, organic line, and sensuous fields of color. The exhibition continues through August 16, 2008.

In oil and acrylic on canvas, Willy Heeks makes sophisticated, intuitive paintings. He builds the surface with lush paint of vibrant colors in bold brush strokes over atmospheric passages. Bright, quirky shapes and playful lines hover over romantic ethereal spaces, referencing nature and hinting at narrative that quickly dissolves. With Heeks' practiced hand, an underlying framework grounds the chaotic, variegated marks, and this structure balances the gestural abstraction and forms in these weighty, elaborate compositions.
