New paintings by Diane Dwyer, in which she presents her uneasy visions of gathering storms often offset by delicately painted birds. The placid allure of these pretty creatures seems to belie the intensity of the threatening skies around them. In other works in the series, flags, lampposts, roofs or wires intrude upon the abstract skyscape at a skewed angle. Banished at the periphery, these simple objects create an asymmetric harmony.

The exhibition as a whole evokes 20th-century rural imagery, which is re-examined within a contemporary frame. The thrust behind all of these works is Dwyer’s desire “to capture something of the divine; to make it stop and stand still.” She employs this potent combination of symbols of “the spiritual and the banal” in her paintings, “as an attempt to pin god and eternity down; to a place and time, the everyday.”
