Emmett Kerrigan lives and works in Chicago.

His recent paintings readily recall aerial landscapes. The meticulously applied layers of color reflect a deep appreciation for the way the land carries a memory of its previous self.

Patchwork like spaces of unequal area are simplified and assembled to heighten the relevance of value, line and most importantly color.


Emmett's work will be in an upcoming show at the Linda Warren Gallery, Chicago in October 2009
