Lucy MacGillis
Hoadley Gallery | USA
"A Berkshire native now living in Italy, Lucy MacGillis combines an appreciation of Cezanne and Morandi with her own unique style to create exquisite oil paintings of her life in Umbria. Her paintings are timeless and classic yet have a fresh contemporary feeling." >>more

"Lucy MacGillis e americana ma il suo cuore, la sua anima e la sua sensibilita artistica sono profondamente umbre: senza quei paesaggi, quei silenzi ininterrotti e la possibilita di un profondo isolamento a tu per tu con questa realta talmente lontana dalle sue origini, l'artista forse non avrebbe mai potuto ricercare un'appropriata dimensione creativa."
The Berkshire Review for the Arts | USA
"Although her paintings, all oils on canvas or linen, are devoid of human figures on a literal level, they are full of human life. The apricots and figs in her still life paintings will be eaten, the bottles consumed, the distant caffetiera on the stove emptied into the cup discreetly looming in the foreground. In this direct experience of light, color, texture, and space and in the connoted life around and within them, Lucy MacGillis invites us to share obliquely in her life. For the viewer, as he or she contemplates each canvas, this grows into a feeling of actually being present on the spot."
