[ART] Artist Mary Begley’s work is not unlike Charles Burchfield’s, creating cryptic, colorful, abstract landscapes. “An entity surrounded by its environment is a universal concept,” the artist says in an artist statement. “Whether it is from reality or from a more sub-conscience level.” Her latest collection is titled The Abstract Tableau, which is made up of works created over the last five years. In it, the artist explores how abstract paintings can “tell a story and set a scene.” Begley’s work has been featured in a number of local galleries including the Burchfield-Penney Art Center, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Big Orbit, and Hallwalls. Her next opening is this Friday, January 8 at Pausa Art House as part of January’s First Friday gallery walk. Admission to the exhibit is free.
