Focus: Ged QuinnPresented by Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth at Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth April 22-June 17, 2012 Ged Quinn's paintings combine landscapes in the vein of Claude Lorrain with fragments of history, art history, and mythology. The works are awe-inspiring in the combination of painterly skills and provocative conceptual strains. In Quinn's work, sublime backgrounds meet broken-down foregrounds, and at all turns utopian ideals are acknowledged and critiqued. Death, deceit, and decay are also dragged into the frame.
