C. Parker
Gallery in partnership with the Greenwich Land Trust will be hosting a special
evening with renowned landscape painter, Ernest Garthwaite. The gallery
reception will be from 6 – 8pm and the artist will speak about his featured
works. Please join us to view these spectacular paintings and to enjoy
refreshments along with live cool jazz by recording artist Leroy B. Adams II.



 



C. Parker Gallery is pleased to present Flight: Memory & Illusion, a solo
exhibition of work by the master painter, Ernest Garthwaite. The artist’s works
are distinguished by his large parabolic shaped paintings that powerfully interpret
the landscape. Over the past four decades, Garthwaite has perfected a
luxuriantly textured and multi-layered surface that echoes nature’s variations of
light and movement. The artist’s paintings are reflective of his
environmentalist view. The works express the sacredness of the land and our
interconnectedness to the natural elements. In keeping with Garthwaite’s
conservationist views, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the
Greenwich Land Trust.



 



Garthwaite's
work is represented in over 75 collections, including the Medicine Hat Museum
and Art Gallery, New Rochelle Public Library, Art Gallery of Windsor, Bank of
Montreal, Concordia University, Marymount College, Whyte Museum of the Canadian
Rockies and York College of the City University of New York. A professor for
over four decades, Ernest Garthwaite is Professor Emeritus at York College, the
City University of New York.
