O’Malley’s work remains loyal to the three general painting subjects: portrait, landscape and still life. “I work to fuse together, not just ancient tech- niques and cultural art styles, but new- er, more contemporary ideas to create a painting or sculpture,“ O’Malley says. He chooses the theme or story of a painting from a traditional pool of themes (good vs. evil, love, motherhood, violence, sex, work, religion, etc.). “I paint the emo- tional side of the subject, stripping away the detail to its basic nature, simplifying it, so we can feel its naked and vulnera- ble pain or happiness.” Also find original pieces on display from area artists Randy McClelland, Chris Lee, J. Arthur Kurtti, Keifer Gray and Greg Neitzel. Light refreshments will be served. 14.
