Eugene
Healy is an abstract painter. However, he does not depart from the objective
when attempting to create a sense of place in his paintings. This sense
of place is what the artist strives for and so successfully achieves.
The connection between artist, viewer and place can be almost inexplicable.
The sensation could be compared to the feelings one might experience while
listening to a piece of instrumental music. Feelings can well up, but
it is difficult to articulate exactly the what-or-why of those feelings.
They are abstract in nature – and just happen. Healy’s strong sense of
composition and color balance, what he refers to as “equilibrium” in his
arrangements of color and form, lend his paintings a harmonic quality
that again can be equated with music. Music for the eye.
Healy’s sensitive relationship with the natural world is reflected in the titles of his paintings. These are powerful images. They are objects that define themselves and reflect the aesthetic perceptions of a unique mind.
