NADA House 2023
September 1 - October 1, 2023
Governors Island, Nolan Park, House #18, New York, NY
For Nada House 2023, Martha's is excited to be showcasing 4 new paintings by Conner O'Leary. O'Leary's work can best be described as uneasy still lifes or quiet chaos; the paintings typically take place in liminal spaces flooded by light and shadows. The works have a natural conversation with the space in which they will be installed on the island. There are wood floors, windows with light beaming in, and even a hole in the ceiling that directly correlates with the painted cracks that Conner sneaks into his paintings that give the viewer a sense that there is something lurking beyond the surface.
