Fran O'Neill's abstract paintings on view at David & Schweitzer through Sunday

Fran O'Neill's exhibition at David & Schweitzer in Brooklyn features abstract paintings characterized by bold forms and vigorous brushwork. The show closes on Sunday at 56 Bogart Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206. O'Neill's background in figurative painting informs her work, lending compositional precision and a sense of bodily connection to her abstract compositions. Her paintings have been compared to Howard Hodgkin's, though they are described as less restrained, and her brushstrokes recall Juan Uslé's with greater generational intent. One specific work, "Dance with me" from 2016, is an oil on canvas measuring 30 by 30 inches. The artist's formal training is evident but not overtly imposed on the paintings, which stand as assertive and immediate abstractions. The exhibition is presented by David & Schweitzer, with the artwork courtesy of both the gallery and the artist.
