Lynn Talbot’s new paintings continue to propose a visual and metaphorical dialogue between realism and abstraction, between historical and contemporary painting; in them realistic, small-scale still life tableaux share the canvas with formal shapes and text. Talbot’s still life technique and imagery recalls Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century Spanish and Dutch painters, as well as the tradition of American still life and trompe l’oeil painting. Juxtaposed against that are highly chromatic, geometric shapes and patterning, with text more fully incorporated into the most recent paintings. A painting bearing the exhibition’s title, No Consequences, suggests the outcome for participants of recent dubious, at best, financial, political, and environmental activities. Below these words is an arrangement of fruits with a large cantaloupe at the center, an orange, and a white peach suspended above the rest, all representing our solar system. Another painting, Time for a Change, suggests activity in contrast to the static objects.
