From Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Quiet Storm, an exhibition of new work by Danielle Mckinney (b. 1981; Montgomery, AL). In this ambitious new suite of oil paintings, Mckinney infuses intimate settings with radical beauty and striking emotional sway. Quiet Storm comes on the heels of the opening of Mckinney’s first institutional solo exhibition, Fly on the Wall, on view at the Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin, Italy through October 2024.

Throughout her intimately-scaled portraits, Mckinney imagines solitary female protagonists—nestled in dream-like domestic interiors—in moments of leisure and respite. In the twelve paintings in Quiet Storm, Mckinney conjures a spiritual—and physical—mise-en-scène. As Mckinney’s figures lounge on velvety sofas, nap in pillow-strewn beds, drag on cigarettes—fully immersed in their own interiority—a storm brews. Rain falls softly on the roof, thunder rumbling in the distance, the smell of petrichor creeping through cracks in the windows. A quiet storm brews internally, as well. Tranquil but electrified, these women ground themselves, corporeally and emotionally, in this moment alone.

In pensive, cinematic portraits, painter Danielle Mckinney captures solitary female protagonists in moments of leisure and respite. Set in dream-like domestic interiors, Mckinney's figures sprawl across unmade beds, lounge in overstuffed armchairs, and splay on the floor in various states of undress. They smoke, read, and nap; immersed in their own worlds, ensconced in their own space, these women are consumed with rest, with pleasure, with leisure, with being. Hinting subtly at the busy routine of these figures' lives, Mckinney withholds their motivations, their thoughts, their comings and goings—in turn captivating viewers with narratives implied in elusive shadows and revealing details.

🎨#ArtIsAWeapon #Artwork: “Face Forward”, 2023 Oil on Canvas #Artist: Danielle McKinney @danielle_mckinney_ • Reposted from @danielle_mckinney_ Studio Notes : 2023 I abandoned acrylic and transitioned into the land of oil paint. It’s been a huge learning curve and has left me questioning the one medium I feel at ease. “Oil moves like butter, Danielle”that’s what they tell me. I’m in the unknown and it’s a good challenge for me. I’m excited to see where my hand, spirit, and paint will lead me. A special thank you to my fav teacher @robert.roest . ❤️ “Face Forward”, 2023 Oil on Canvas #WomensHistoryMonth #oilpainting #studio #experiment #color #sketch #heartcentered #trialanderror #newyear #daniellemckinney #WomenArtists #BlackArtists #BlackGirlArtGeeks https://www.instagram.com/p/CpoULKSMM9i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

🌟#ArtIsAWeapon #ExhibitClosing DO NOT MISS Danielle Mckinney | 'Golden Hour' exhibit at Marianne Boesky Gallery - it closes this Saturday, November 13! @danielle_mckinney_

@marianneboeskygallery

507 W 24th Street, #NYC

Reposted from @marianneboeskygallery Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present 'Golden Hour,' Danielle Mckinney’s first solo exhibition at the gallery’s New York space✨

In the new works on view, Mckinney expands and deepens her exploration into female subjecthood. The show’s title, 'Golden Hour' reflects the mood and aesthetic sensibility of her paintings––the soft, resonant light of a particular time of day that often inspires self-reflection and signals the beginning of a period of relaxation. Emotionally as much as physically, 'Golden Hour' marks the transition from the external world of work and play to the internal world of rest and solitude.

•

Depicted in abstractly domestic settings, the figures in Mckinney’s work offer a radical possibility: a space in which a person is utterly free to be themselves, an existence circumscribed in aesthetic terms of their own devising. Whether sleeping or smoking, sitting or reclining, these figures inhabit a sense of freedom and raw emotion one feels in the safety of their own space.

Mckinney’s paintings are strongly influenced by her time spent in Pont-Aven, France and her exposure to the style of Synthetism, with its emphasis on bringing a spiritual dimension into the visual plane. For Mckinney, the spatial possibilities offered by painting are an entry point into accessing universal human experiences and spiritual truths.

Acrylic on Canvas . www.daniellejmckinney.com - "Danielle McKinney (b. 1981) creates narrative paintings that often focus on the solitary female protagonist. In these intimate portraits, McKinney captures the figure immersed in various leisurely pursuits and moments of deep reflection. Engaging with themes of spirituality and self, her paintings uncover hidden narratives and conjure dreamlike spaces, often within the interior domestic sphere. With a background in photography, McKinney paints with an acute awareness of the female gaze, employing deeply colorful hues and nuanced details with cinematic effect. McKinney received her BFA from Atlanta College of Arts and holds an MFA in Photography from Parsons School of design." @marianneboeskygallery @nightgallery . . . . . #DanielleMcKinney #paintings #drawing #contemporaryart #artlovers #abstractartist #BlackArt #artoftheday #acrylicpainting #figure #BlackArtists #painter #fineart #paintings #creative #artcollector #BlackArtLovers #BlackGirlArtGeeks https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ5nKTzAh3l/?utm_medium=tumblr
