NEW MILFORD, CONN. — A vibrant oil on canvas painting by Chuck Connelly, “Invaders I & II,” which depicted flowers in riotous bloom, blossomed at $6,080, including premium, at The Auction Barn on January 12. Connelly, who died in April 2025, was known for his heavily textured paintings, most in a Neo-Expressionist style; he came into his own as an artist in the 1980s. This painting came from a New York City collector. A complete review on the auction will appear in an upcoming edition.
