Artist Talk with Charles Thomas O'Neil: TRUTHFUL SEARCH

What happens when you refuse to look away from what you are creating? A conversation on what painting reveals when you refuse to look away. Join us for an artist talk with Berkshires-based painter Charles Thomas O'Neil, in conversation with Hudson-based artist and artist champion, David Giroux, around his solo exhibition Truthful Search — a full-space takeover at (Creative Legion). In this body of work, O'Neil explores accumulation and erasure, tension and restraint. Through layered mark-making and deliberate subtraction, his paintings reveal the evidence of process: gestures reconsidered, surfaces revised, forms that emerge through persistence and doubt. For the first time, the exhibition expands beyond (Creative Legion)'s 400 sq ft gallery to inhabit the entire building — inviting you to encounter the work in shared rooms, gathering spaces, and moments of pause throughout the day.
