Mary Lou Zelazny: Repeating The Habit

Mary Lou Zelazny: Repeating The Habit, March 16 ・April 14, 2007 at Carl Hammer Gallery in Chicago, IL. "...Mary Lou Zelazny continues practicing her wizardry in the art of mixing painting with collage as demonstrated by her newest body of work. Her skillful injection of popular culture objects into elaborately painted backgrounds of mostly pastel-like colors with both figures and objects continues to act as a viewer’s transport to other worlds and planes of existence. And in the process of being transported, we derive great unexpected satisfaction as she, the artist, incorporates these improbable found pieces/objects seamlessly into a greater whole of dreamlike entities. Her combining the gestural fluidity of paint with the slickness of the clipped photograph/image creates a hybrid form which is both expressive and stimulating."
