Celebrating its inaugural exhibition, Jenn Singer Gallery presents Moves Moves – a solo exhibition of new paintings by New York and Rome based contemporary artist C. Finley. The opening reception will take place Tuesday, May 12, 2015, 6pm-8pm. The exhibition will continue through June 11, 2015.

The vibrant paintings in Moves Moves are alive with C. Finley’s signature details: wild colors, sensuality, and geometry that emanate positive energy and celebrate the body electric. The works were conceived as talismans for specific people in the artist’s life and were inspired by Tom Spanbauer’s novel The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon…

“Anything that has life moves…One move is a heartbeat. Moves Moves is what it is that’s beating the heart – your heart and my heart and everybody else’s.”

In creating this new body of work, C. Finley ponders, “How do you master your Moves Moves? If everything that is living moves, then ‘Moves’ is a synonym for ‘living being’. But what is it that makes a living being move?”. According to the Spanbauer novel, Moves Moves is a mysterious substance or energy – that which moves living beings. One can redirect their Moves Moves to attain higher states of consciousness. Finley’s paintings embrace the mystery and joy of what Moves Moves us.
