LAKEVILLE -- The paintings of Lakeville resident Daniel A. Cooney, whose work explores the expressive relationships between color, light, texture, and form, are on display through Dec. 22 at Great Ponds Gallery at the Lakeville Public Library.
The exhibit, titled “Faces & Places: Recent Paintings by Daniel A. Cooney,’’features recent paintings created in his studios in Lakeville and Cognac, France.
Cooney said the exhibit brings together a collection of recent character studies, landscapes, and cityscapes inspired by people and environments that have captured his imagination.
"Every few years, I have the opportunity to exhibit my work at this exceptional local public gallery, in a community we have called home for the past 25 years," said Cooney. "I'm particularly excited about this new collection, which includes character studies of friends and acquaintances who have inspired me through the genuine enthusiasm they bring to their occupations and everyday lives."
The exhibition also features landscapes and cityscapes, many drawn from familiar locations in Southeastern Massachusetts and France.
"These are places I return to again and again, both physically and in my imagination," Cooney explains. "They continue to fascinate and challenge me as I attempt to translate what I see and experience into paint."
