"Oblivion" Celia Neubauer at General Hardware Contemporary. Toronto

Photo Gallery by QuickGallery.com"> This is an  exhibition of nine postmodern oil  paintings which combine organic landscape elements with hard-edged geometric forms. Celia Neubauer studied in England and the massed cloud-like structures , suffused with gold light, and subtly layered with  pale hues remind me of a Turneresque bank of clouds after rain. The  geometric shapes are a sharp intrusion  of a less romantic world, like glimpsing this magnificent vista over the hood of a moving car.  But this is too literal a description. Her work is delicate and rather enigmatic.  I like best the work "Launch" which I found more forceful than the other works, because of the  stronger contrasts of  visual elements. The exhibition is at General Hardware Contemporary until  August , 2014.
