Richard Estes "Antartica, New England, and New York"
Marlborough (Midtown)
This event has ended.
The exhibition of approximately twenty-five paintings, all oil on canvas, ranging from his quintessential subject, New York City, to icy glaciers in Antarctica and landscapes of New England, specifically Maine and Massachusetts. The contemporary American realist painter, Richard Estes continues his engagement with “glassy surfaces,” especially in a series of five paintings, all 2008, that depict views from the Staten Island Ferry. Turning his eye far from the hard angles and dizzying reflections of Manhattan, Estes will present eleven canvases that comprise a series devoted to Antarctica, where with each work he creates stunning effects as both the smooth expanse of water and the boats’ ripples reflect the high peaks of glaciers in that semi-frozen world.
