At Partners Gallery in October Virginia Sharkey is showing a series of large acrylic works. It was in a dark temporary studio that Sharkey was inspired to make these paintings, with their echo of a midnight sky and the vastness of outer space. Forms coalesce and evolve; lines serve as vectors carrying an energy unfolding and disappearing in a quest towards Eros, mystery, and the challenge of conveying the intimate and infinite; the quest toward the jewel hidden within life itself.
