Carmen Neely’s large-scale abstract paintings fill Mariane Ibrahim gallery with energy—feminine, intimate, and sensual but also strong and purposeful. “Sometimes a painting is a prayer” is a very personal exhibition; it’s almost esoteric. Soothing hues—creamy beige, earthy maroon, and soft pink—blend with wine burgundy, dark plum, and intense black. Lines, scribbles, and symbols take on a life of their own in a visual language that the artist describes as “narrative abstraction.
Through personal archives including journal pages that unveil the deepest layers of Neely’s private life, paintings, and works on paper, the artist takes the viewer on a journey through time and emotion. Often, mundane objects of sentimental value are literally affixed to her canvas. Memories, experiences, and reflections on relationships past are brought together as one. The lines between the personal and the collective blur.
Through personal archives including journal pages , the artist takes the viewer on a journey through time and emotion.“Every painting cannot say everything. One painting cannot contain everything,” reads one print dating back to March 2021 “And you will survive this. Without forcing your work into a cramped space. Your work will survive this,” she continues poetically—almost foreshadowing her future. To her, the backstory is absolutely necessary. To look forward, it is imperative to look back.
Through an unexpected form of storytelling, she becomes self-aware but at the same time vulnerable. She takes risks, feels hopeful, lets go—and invites the viewer to do the same. Carried away by scale and composition, one needs a closer look to appreciate the intricate details of Neely’s works—to connect the dots. Her paintings are nothing short of riveting., you find yourself amid a wave of overwhelming emotions.
