The Neglect of the Urban Canopy by Eileen Dorsey in Eppig Gallery
Let’s do a visualization together. Imagine standing under the shade of a tree on a hot summer day, hearing the breeze roll though the leaves above. Now, imagine standing in the stark sun, without a tree in sight; the hot UV rays on your skin, the heat of the air hitting your lungs. Where are you more comfortable? Now, imagine a world without trees, the colors zapped from the environment around you. How would you feel?
This exhibit takes you on a visual journey, where color represents the thick, lush urban canopy. As you walk by each of the works, you’ll notice more and more color being lost, watch the details loosening on the surface. Beauty can still be seen, but you start to wonder how long it will last before it is gone for good.
Eileen Dorsey was born and raised in Cleveland, OH. She graduated from Kent State University receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts, concentration in painting. Since graduation, Dorsey has actively shown regionally and beyond, receiving recognition for her work in juried shows and art competitions alike. She has won Best Artist and Best Painter by the readers of Cleveland Magazine and Scene Magazine for the past 7 years consecutively. In 2021 the Mayor of Westlake recognized the local artist’s talents and made a proclamation, officially naming July 31st of 2021 Eileen Dorsey Day.
Although Dorsey is known best for her color-infused oil paintings and nature portraits of local forests, she also paints murals around the county, working with corporations, franchises and both public and private residences. You may see some of her murals around the Cleveland area and beyond. . Dorsey also painted the background mural for music superstars Twenty One Pilots Scaled and Icy album cover. Dorsey is also the lead artist and muralist for the Barrio Taco Franchise expansion, painting over seven restaurants in Michigan, Columbus and Florida.
Between her mural projects and art exhibitions, you can find Dorsey working in her Cleveland studio located in the 78th Street Studios arts complex. Visit her during the monthly art walks on every Third Friday of the month from 5-9pm.
