Art Review: John David O'Shaughnessy, Speaking Volumes
By Marc Awodey
Published March 9, 2011 at 7:10 a.m.
Speaking Volumes on Pine Street in Burlington exudes creativity. Proprietor Norbert Ender has founded an inviting space chock-full of books, antiques, vinyl records and visual art. Unlike the affiliated Barge Canal Market next door, Speaking Volumes doesn't boast a lot of square footage. But it does have high ceilings that allow art to be presented "salon style" in rows ascending toward the rafters. It's a well-curated space that shows local and regional artists.
This month John David O'Shaughnessy, a midcareer artist with a strong exhibition record, presents painting, prints and other works on paper as well as canvas. His versatility is also reflected in the classes he teaches — drawing, printmaking and painting — at the Currier Museum Art Center in Manchester, N.H.
O'Shaughnessy's 40-plus works on paper here run the gamut from cartoonish figuration to nonobjective pieces related to his paintings. "10,000 Machines" is a print loosely based on the theme of motorcycles but really about vibrant colors. The space has a slight diagonal pitch, and the motorcycles are broken into geometric shapes, lined up like bikes for sale in a showroom. The central bike is brilliant cherry red, while the vehicles beside it are lighter in intensity, their hues ranging toward pink and purple.
In an online artist's statement about his printmaking, O'Shaughnessy writes, "Each color was done as a single stage that was layered over the last. All keying of color is relatively random, allowing for individual passages to emerge from the layering of overall pattern." An example of patterning here is the fine, scratchy lines underneath his blocks of simplified color. O'Shaughnessy is a solid technician with a large bag of printmaking tricks.
The works on paper are hung in such density that several titles are difficult to read, or even find. But the chaotic presentation works well with such playful pieces. Some images recur in a variety of hues. One figure is the portrait of a cranky-looking cartoon rabbit in black and gray, and pink and olive. Another cartoonish portrait is of a catlike critter that stares out at the viewer. The pale green background has wavy lines and dots that form an abstract counterpoint to the stylized figure.
O'Shaughnessy's large-scale paintings are the most dramatic works in the exhibit. "Cherub" consists of a series of loopy lines put down in layers, their colors almost pastel, cut with a lot of white. Like the whorls of fingerprints, the groups of lines are rendered in odd, curvy patterns. Pale blue, salmon orange, pale olive and silvery grays are tangled over the surface. O'Shaughnessy contrasts the light lines with darker areas woven beneath them and at the upper left and right corners of the work.
"Year One," at 6 by 4 feet, presents a color field charged with an array of circuitous lines. In this work the colors are richer — lavender, darker green, turquoise and rust. The vertical composition includes several large blue and green dots that provide island-like resting places for the eye.
Segmented strands of color wind across the picture plane of "Loops." The strands appear in O'Shaughnessy's signature pastel yellow, blue, salmon and pale green, but they are not concentric like the lines in other pieces. Instead, they look like twisting mountain roads over a bed of textural browns and ashen grays.
O'Shaughnessy repeatedly shifts from an intuitive, abstract-expressionist approach to playful figuration and back, and his aesthetic diversity can be a little bewildering. There's no rule preventing artists from switching gears whenever the spirit moves them, of course, but so much versatility in a single exhibit is almost too much of a good thing.

Coping with a Lost Job
Aimee Shaffer worked as a Public Service News Director for radio for years until one day her employer downsized the company, resulting in hundreds of lost jobs, including Aimee's.
Unfortunately, her contract made it so that she couldn't work for a competing local station for one full year. "I was without a steady income for the first time," said Aimee. With the little unemployment she received, she made sure to pay her bills so she wouldn't get behind. She also looked around for other work and accepted help from family and friends.
To make ends meet, Aimee cut back on her spending. "For $10 I got a pass to the local parks near my house. I spent lots of time hiking and biking for entertainment instead of spending money on other items," said Aimee. While looking for work, she took the time to reflect on her work life and decided she wanted a change. "I didn't want to live paycheck to paycheck anymore." She loves working with animals and decided to open up her own business as a full-time professional pet sitter.
Shortly after starting her business, Aimee's Ford Aspire "expired." She talked with a friend who worked at a car dealership and discovered that she didn't have any credit to her name in order to buy a new car. The dealership allowed her to build credit by leasing a car, and after two years of making lease payments without fail she was able to qualify for a car loan. Her loan was also approved because of her business. "My decision to work on my own paid off financially and allowed me to do something I love," said Aimee.
A few years before Aimee lost her radio job she interviewed Elaine Courtney with Okaloosa Saves and was inspired to save for retirement. "I didn't think I had enough money to save but I started by putting $25-$50 away with each paycheck and now I have a nice little fund," Aimee added. She still enjoys learning about her finances and recently attended a Women and Money course. The course confirmed that she was on the right track with her finances and gave her a free copy of her credit score for attending. "I was so happy to see that all my hard work to earn credit actually paid off."

Inspired to Build Savings By Starting Small
With little-to-no money in the bank and living on a limited income with her adult daughter, Sharon wasn't sure if building up savings for her future was even possible. "At my age, to put debts behind me would be a relief," she said, but she wasn't quite sure how to even get started with a savings plan. That all changed when Sharon attended the Great Lakes Michigan Saves Pay Yourself First Saver's Summit during America Saves Week.
Story of an Urban Professional
Elaine was inspired to create a new savings goal and plan with the America Saves Pledge after reading the "The Color of Money" column in The Washington Post by Michelle Singletary.
