The Language of Landscape
On View: March 10 – April 1, 2023
Reception: Friday, March 10, 5 – 7pm
Walk-through with the Artist: Saturday, March 25, 2pm
“The eight large prints in my current show at Gallery NAGA were selected from thousands taken over a period of four years, from 2018 to 2022. In choosing locations, I selected places I liked because they were interesting and new. I also chose to go where other artists worked, especially Thomas Cole, whose paintings I admire. Like Cole, I want these images to speak for the larger possibilities our landscape can give us: redemption, salvation, rebirth, sustainability, and forgiveness.” - Peter Vanderwarker
