About Good Day Bad Day & Marcelyn McNeil
In Good Day Bad Day, Marcelyn McNeil responds to the formidable architecture of Lawndale’s John M. O’Quinn Gallery through site-specific abstract paintings and sculptures. Through her experimental approach to painting and process, McNeil challenges traditional assumptions about abstraction to produce works that remind us of the lyrical power of painting in an ever challenging contemporary moment. Essay by and Q&A with Katherine Brodbeck, Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at The Dallas Museum of Art.
