CV

Eugene Healy (born 1948) is recognized for his abstract, collage-paintings of favorite shore towns and local beaches along the New England and Connecticut shore, where Healy has resided for over 25 years. His minimalist seascapes are inspired by the forms and colors he sees in his coastal surroundings, and employ a variety of mediums ranging from oil, watercolor, encaustic, oil crayon, lacquers, and colored pencil applied to fragments of canvas, boards, and paper. Taking inspiration from painters such as Matisse, Vermeer, Richard Diebenkorn, Robert Rauschenberg, Hans Hoffman, and Fauvism, Healy’s distilled shapes and colors yield a vocabulary of the implied landscape yet remains fundamentally non-objective.  

Healy has had a long exhibition record with galleries and art museums throughout the country. He studied painting at the New York Institute of Technology and earned his B.F.A. in 1972. He also served as a curator, conceptualizing, and organizing the popular traveling exhibition, 'American Vision', which was launched at NYU. Later, he served as Director of the National Artists’ Alliance, and as Exhibition Designer for the Yale Center for British Art.
