poster for Don Eddy “Two Realms”

This event has ended.

Among the first generation of realist painters, Eddy is one of the few who has taken his vision and unique painting process into new subject matter, continuing his exploration of the mysteries of life. In the ‘70s Eddy painted the urban landscape, the California urban landscape, focusing on cars, reflections on the sides of cars, bumpers, headlights. For the past several years he has returned to the imagery of the urban landscape, this time using New York as his prime subject, and for the first time the bridges of Manhattan Island become the main focal point. In juxtaposition to the urban realm is that of nature, depicted in triptych paintings entitled “A Flight in Summer” and “A Flight in Winter,” anchored by images of waves/splashing water in the central panel with complementary seasonal images top and bottom, haikus for contemplation.
Painted in 20-30 layers of transparent acrylic over an under-painting of three colors, (the first being tiny circles about a 20th of an inch in diameter of phthalocyanine green) Eddy’s new multi-panel works are “saturated“ in palette and in subject. More complex and more concentrated than his earlier works, the recent paintings offer the viewer much to experience and savor slowly.
