“American Realism: A Survey” Exhibition

Gerald Peters Gallery, New York

This event has ended.

Gerald Peters Gallery present American Realism: A Survey.

Gallery director Peter J. Marcelle and celebrated artist Daniel Sprick first allied themselves over their shared love of realist art. The two have joined forces to curate this special exhibition in celebration of the genre. Featuring painting, drawing, and sculpture, American Realism: A Survey will explore the pluralistic nature of the realism movement. What constitutes realism? Over time the definition has been blurred by the vast diversity of style within realist art. Realism has remained a constant in American painting, though often appearing in various guises: traditional realism, photo realism, hyper realism, magic realism, painterly realism, neo-academic realism, and many more, all fall within its ever widening parameters.

The exhibition will highlight the works of notable contemporary luminaries such as Jamie Wyeth, Daniel Sprick, Harvey Dinnerstein, and Steven Assael, while paying homage to past exemplars such as John Koch and Andrew Wyeth. Through varying styles, each artist presents their interpretation of reality; all use a direct visual language to convey their individual truth.
