Biography:

Eugene Healy – born 1948
He studied at the New York Institute of Technology,
and he was conferred the degree of a BFA in 1972.

Eugene Healy paints in various combinations of either/or: oil, acrylic, acrylic adhesives, watercolor, encaustic, oil crayon, colored pencil, collage on canvas and lacquered papers.
He has been influenced by such painters as: Matisse, Vermeer, Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Rauschenberg, Hans Hoffman and the Fauve painters (among others).
He has served as Director of the National Artists’ Alliance Inc., and Exhibition Designer at the Yale Center for British Art.


"Gene Healy's collages are incontrovertible proof that it is possible for the utmost subtlety to coexist at once with pure simplicity, and produce an active, striking impact upon the viewer...even as he drinks in an atmosphere of very specific yet universal time and place.

The pieces are calming, but no-nonsense succinct. AND THEY ARE ADDICTIVE. In addition to complementing one another happily in a collection of several..one finds it hard to stop with just one. And each, indeed has its own very special language, which in fact causes to be, a perception of something quite more than just a time or a place, but rather evoking a spirit within us which has lain wait for the stimulus at hand.

Born in Connecticut, the residence of Mr. Healy, I experience my childhood when I see his work. So straightforward. So complex. Yet I experience not merely the tantalizing knooks and crannies of the land/seascapes before me in some kind of romanticism of possibilities, but a kaleidoscope of ideas and thoughts which are more than mirrors of reaction...indeed bringing me to concepts entirely unrelated, except as all things are related.

To be in close proximity to Healy's work is to be infected with the thing of youth...endless fresh possibility...mystery...potential...even as it is tempered with the patina of wisdom.

For us, to be an art dealer without him would be like waking up without a cup of coffee...no longer possible to contemplate."
