Artist Statement In my work I explore the many contrasts that I see in the world around me as well as within me. I was made aware of the complicated nature of humanity at an early age when my father, a recent art school grad, was shipped off to war. WWII plagued him with PTSD and the art world lost a potentially bright star. In that loss, though, I gained my purpose as an artist. In my own work, rather than painting overt references to the traumas of a confusing world, I instead seek to explore subtle paradoxes in the world around me. I paint still lifes with a disquieting, unnerving sense of order; bustling cityscapes with a stoic silence; and banal domestic scenes with such an unflinching attention to detail that the very nature of why it has been elevated to be a painting is called into question. In my art there is always a calm, almost a reserved aloofness. It is my truth, my view of the world as it is with all its beauty, potential, and reality. https://www.maryjkirbyartist.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-12-02 https://www.maryjkirbyartist.com/home daily 1.0 2023-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/f22234ae-cb75-4cc1-b139-801c3603a649/PXL_20230209_203937912.MP_2.jpg https://www.maryjkirbyartist.com/waterandskles daily 0.75 2022-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/1645548498637-2JNNMH46LBO94SWDN970/MaryJKirby+-+2019+Longwood+Lilies+-+DE.jpg Water and Skies "Admiral's House", 2018, oil on canvas, 14 x 18, Private Collection, MD https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/10b03651-fc13-4713-ba70-f2b7ca3a4f77/Longwood+Lilies+%5BDE%5D+IMG_20190606_012009.jpg Water and Skies "Lillies", oil on canvas, 16 x 20", Private Collection, DE https://www.maryjkirbyartist.com/still-lifes daily 0.75 2022-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/c6b16776-880f-4bed-a651-e85c41378fea/PXL_20221128_223612464.MP.jpg Still Lifes "Notice Us" 2023, oil, 11x14, $560 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/e8eb5e34-7deb-48a7-ac26-a6fbe06fa7b6/PXL_20230209_170954670.MP.jpg Still Lifes "Cinnabar Scene", 2023, oil, 20x16, $600 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/cbebeb6c-f75d-403d-be6a-63e0aed2d0dd/PXL_20230209_183109770._2_exported_1101_1676352496036.jpg Still Lifes "Family History", 2023, oil, 16x20, $570 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/85b7e126-5f19-4991-923e-085f8cf63abd/PXL_20230209_195919859.MP_2.jpg Still Lifes "Coffee Bar",, 2020, oil , 16 x 20, $600 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/8f20b7c1-0c9d-4f11-ae1a-422d1f7d0524/PXL_20230209_191335232.MP_2.jpg Still Lifes "Deco Chair", 2021, oil, 10x8, $390 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/56732faf-fc08-4e1c-a92f-644e650946eb/PXL_20230209_192250160.MP_2.jpg Still Lifes "Gas Buddies", oil, 9x12, $280 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/b8201ee3-9f0b-44a6-9cb5-29377599c848/PXL_20230209_195117491.MP_2+%281%29.jpg Still Lifes "Shadow Cat", 2022, oil, 20x16, $360 https://www.maryjkirbyartist.com/people daily 0.75 2022-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/0a746525-e7a4-4c2d-a4ba-eb2c5f6e3486/IMG_20200621_113354.jpg People "Carousel", 2020, oil, 16 x 20, Private Collection, NYC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/aedac3a9-6cde-49d1-b87b-9c3d08f94718/PXL_20211211_182024971.PORTRAIT.jpg People "Lizzy Unicorn", 2021, oil on clayboard, 10x8, NFS https://www.maryjkirbyartist.com/buildings daily 0.75 2023-01-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/f22234ae-cb75-4cc1-b139-801c3603a649/PXL_20230209_203937912.MP_2.jpg Buildings and Landscapes "Manhattan Afternoon", 2021, oil, 30x30, NFS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/27a83bbf-3519-4bf6-a756-428c0698fe5d/PXL_20230209_200832023.MP_2.jpg Buildings and Landscapes "Slava Ukraini !" , 2023, oil, 14x18", price $350 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/b074e708-6ea8-44e7-82de-85ac28bd7558/PXL_20230209_185905109.MP_2.jpg Buildings and Landscapes "Cassis Harbor". 2022, oil, 12x12, $390 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/1879588a-2bab-4615-9a96-141e86b30505/M+KIRBY+%5BTu%5D+Landscape+-+Umberger+Cabin+-+Painting+V1.jpg Buildings and Landscapes "Foggy Day", 2020, oil, 11x14, Private Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/fee9c6cd-c8e5-4efb-a564-a6970f95f91d/PXL_20221211_022644640.PORTRAIT_3.jpg Buildings and Landscapes "Weems Barn", 2021, oil, 11 x 14, Private Collection https://www.maryjkirbyartist.com/home2 daily 0.75 2022-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62150ec4358f4329f223b507/9013dfdd-4576-4136-8a54-bfeaa2fbef50/PXL_20211211_183234634+%281%29.jpg Home2 -
