Famous dad's influence displayed at Five Points

Danielle Mailer has always been a "more is more" artist. The figures in her paintings not only leap, bound, exult and alight, but they are painted in vibrant, primary colors, usually executed in Mailer's trademark dot patterns.

Mailer's new exhibit at Five Points Gallery in Torrington offers plenty for the Mailer enthusiast magnetized by her dizzyingly pointillist application of color. Those familiar with her work will be cheered by Mailer's continued examination of other materials, primarily metal, onto which to apply her surrealist evocation of the exotic, fanciful and feminist.
