NEW YORK, NY.- Beginning July 25, 2024, Forum Gallery presents Out of Town, an exhibition about the human desire to escape our busy urban lives for the reverie of landscape vistas and seasonal adventures. By the hand of a diverse selection of visionary contemporary and twentieth-century artists, the twenty-nine paintings, works on paper, and textiles comprising the exhibition present visual interpretations of landscapes and natures seasonal offerings inspired by natural subjects from coast-to-coast and faraway shores, as well as expressions of the artists own personal introspection. Out of Town continues through Saturday, September 7, 2024.
Coastal gardens, forest woodlands, and waterfalls by Robert Bauer (b. 1942), Bernard Karfiol (1886-1952), and Craig McPherson (b. 1948) are refreshing summertime scenes, while expansive rural scenes and working farms captured with seasonal atmosphere command our attention in works by William Beckman (b. 1942), Oscar Bluemner (1867-1938), Charles Burchfield (1893-1967), Gregory Gillespie (1936-2000) and Anthony Mitri (b. 1951). Beach scenes by David Levine (1926-2009) depicting fun, sun-soaked festivities present in stark contrast to Rance Jones (b. 1965) watercolors highlighting the barebones maritime life in Cuba.
The experience of being immersed in nature is at the core of Brian Rutenbergs (b. 1965) emotive landscape abstractions and is fertilizer for psychological expression in paintings by Alyssa Monks (b. 1977). For Paul Fenniak (b. 1965) and Alan Feltus (b. 1943), the elements of nature enhance the dreamlike narratives in their paintings, while for Linden Frederick (b. 1953), Bill Vuksanovich (b. 1938) and Michael C. Thorpe (b. 1993), nature sets the stage for stories about leaving town for various escapes.
Natures bounty is an inspiration for Claudio Bravo (1936-2011), G. Daniel Massad (b. 1946), Alan Magee (b. 1947), and Guillermo Muñoz Vera (b. 1956) whose poetic still-life arrangements featuring local harvests and natural spectacles transport us to places across the globe. Getting us there are Tula Telfairs (b. 1961) atmospheric impressions evocative of aerial views from an airplane window and the excitement of going out of town.
