Simon Gaon "Landscapes and Portraits"
Nabi Gallery
This event has ended.
The paintings include a suite of large canvases from the artist’s Sunset on a Lake series, variations on a theme he has pursued over the past two years in which expressionist renderings of light and water take on a texture and intensity that verges on abstraction.
Also on view is a selection of Gaon’s characteristically expressive portraits. Their subjects are personalities he encounters on his travels and in the cafes and streets of New York—vagabonds, prostitutes, rabbis, Upper West Side philosophers, or, in a mirror, himself.
