Current Exhibit

Connie Ehindero: 20 Views within 20 Yards
Paintings based on the landscape but founded on the ever changing elements of the natural world, this collection of paintings offers a unique view of the local landscape of Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes.

ARTIST STATMENT: I started painting tree trunks that had been marked by paint, chopped, hacked, flagged or otherwise marred by humans. The form became the reason to put paint on canvas. It has become a way to limit sensory input and focus on one place. It has become a process to take back my mental space and expand perception.

20 VIEWS WITHIN 20 YARDS

20 paintings in this show are painted within a few short strides from my spiritual home at Sandy Pond on the shores of Lake Ontario.

During my whole life, I have gone to my cottage in the woods on Sandy Pond. The path into the cottage is a mere quarter mile long, but for me it encompasses all  the natural world that I seem to need to feel at home.

One day at the cottage I looked out the window through the tall trees that surrounded me, into the dunes, marsh, pond, woods and beyond and in a moment I realized that I paint what I know. The trees forms, dune lines, horizon, shore are not “other” to me. This cellular recognition and the peace that comes from it, forms the basis of the art.

I paint outdoors on the deck at the cottage often. In all weather and times of day, I carry canvases into the surrounding woods to find the initial lines that form the painting structure.

Then I started visiting the Finger Lakes. Kayaking into the middle of Keuka Lake, sitting in the shale shore of Skaneateles Lake, meditating within the primal world of Honeoye Lake and I found more lines that I seem to have known all along and was just now remembering. And so there are more paintings.
