Falkner Studio
Contemporary abstract oil paintings — large-format canvases and panels — in a third-floor studio at 68 Main Street in Stonington. The work runs from 24x24" to 80" panoramic panels, all oil on canvas or panel.
Falkner Studio occupies the third floor of a building on Stonington's Main Street, operating as both working studio and exhibition space. The paintings are abstract and large: pieces like Blues Quartet (36x144"), Weathering the Storm (24x80"), and Avalanche (36x36") indicate the scale and ambition of the work. The palette and compositions suggest both structure and energy — formal investigation without rigidity.
The body of work spans from at least 1988 through 2023, with recurring titles that play on natural forces and weather — Batten Down, Avalanche, Variegation — alongside more architectural references. The studio website functions primarily as a portfolio and does not publish hours or contact details prominently.
Given the third-floor location and studio-as-gallery format, visiting typically requires advance contact. The website (averyfalkner.net) shows the full portfolio.
