November at Amapola
“Scenery and Serigraphs,” Amapola Gallery’s Featured Artists’ installation for November, provides an exciting contrast. Christopher Miller interprets the stunning landscapes of the Southwest in oils. Gwen Peterson provides her vision of that same Southwest in near-geometric serigraphs.
Christopher Miller, influenced by Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masters, captures the sensuous shapes, light and colors of New Mexico. His mastery of the oil medium is on view in such works as, “Three Hills, Abiquiu,” “Cold Day, Santa Fe” and “Taos Morada.”
Gwen Peterson’s serigraphs present similar scenery with a contemporary look and definite abstract aspects. Hard edges, intense colors in close color tones combine to create vastly different, equally pleasing, outcomes to Miller’s oils. The owner of two Maine Coon cats, Gwen will also share her charming serigraphs of animals, cats but also zebras, penguins, giraffes and polar bears.
Meet the artists at their reception on Friday, November 1, from 4:30 to 6pm. Enjoy their compelling works daily from 10 to 5.
