"Parallel Perspectives": Exploring duality within the works of Vincent Thomas Connors and Charles Seerey.

Join us! Artist Reception at Acumen Wine Gallery Friday, April 21st 6-8PM 1315 First Street, NAPA CA

CHARLES SEEREY

Charles Seerey’s work integrates art history influences and personal perspectives. His rhythmically constructed abstract paintings are solidly balanced and steeped in structure, giving the work a sense of gravity and weight. There is an emphasis placed on the principles of pattern, balance and color relationships to create a sense of movement, rhythm and flow that draws the eye along the forms and juxtapositions of the composition. His handling of paint produces a distinctive rendering of color, light and the highly visible brush strokes to add energy on the canvas’s surface.

Charles Seerey lived and worked in Sacramento, California for over 20 years before moving to Napa Valley in 2018. He is originally from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma but has lived in New York, Texas and New Mexico before moving to Northern California. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, Studio Art with an emphasis in Painting and Drawing, from Stephen F. Austin State University, Texas.

VINCENT THOMAS CONNORS

Vincent Thomas Connors’ work utilizes various fabrication and paint handling techniques in conjunction with traditional forms of abstraction.  His varied works and techniques include numerous explorations of his materials.  His “Drip” and “Sewn” series are two examples of his exploration of color and the manner in which the application of paint can create atmosphere within the confines of two dimensional space.  A reoccurring theme in Vincent’s work is the abstraction of landscape.

Vincent Thomas Connors has lived and worked in San Francisco, New York, and Shanghai before settling in the Napa Valley in 2012.  His prior work experience includes the Fashion and Textile industries.  Originally from Newton, New Jersey he earned a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and an MFA from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.  He has founded the Devaux Ranch Studio in Carneros as a creative space to develop his 2D and 3D work.
