A Natural Progression New Oil Paintings by Edward Bear Miller Wednesday, January 4 through Sunday, January 29 Opening Reception: Friday, January 6, 6 - 8 pm About the Exhibit: Edward Bear Miller’s recent oil paintings explore a range of subjects: nudes, portraits, cityscapes, the mountainous Adirondacks, and the parks and waterways of his native Washington, D.C. He has studied and absorbed the influences of Gustave Courbet, George Bellows, Lucian Freud, and also of his contemporaries. Miller is an emerging artist whose work is immediate, vivid, and modern. Each piece communicates the artist’s admiration for the natural world, where monumental bridges, outstretched trees, and wistful human forms serve as motifs for our current condition. Miller applies his paint rapidly and generously, producing bold, clear images that break down into gracefully abstract brushwork as the viewer steps forward. These canvases enliven the spirit and lend a fresh, local perspective to a venerable tradition.
