                                                                                                                       ABOUT THIS MONTHS ARTIST:  Mary Ann Flynn-Fouse

The splashy gestural coloramas of  Mary Ann Flynn-Fouse are in a painterly style often referred to as abstract expressionism.  Whatever the monicker given these moving paint, shape, textural dramas they are immediate and self contained, limiting their dynamic appeal to their reality as paintings and minimalizing any reference to natural phenomena seen or recalled from shomewhere beyond the limits of the paintings.  there is a powerful vision excitment in each individual painting (diptychs or tripthchs) that depends for its hypnotic appeal on the gestures of the bruch strokes, the hue, value, intensity of colors, the broad range of textures, the sizes, positions, proportions and "movements" of the shapes.

These brilliant works are based on feeling (emotion) rather than idea (concept).

Undouubtedly some viewers will try to "read into" these works some sort of personal experiential meaning as in Rorschak blots, but it is certain that was not the motivation of the creating artist, Mary Flynn-Fouse.
