My exhibition, Internal Landscapes: The Paintings of GC Myers, has officially opened at the Fenimore Art Museum in lovely Cooperstown, NY. The exhibit hangs until the end of the year, December 31. It’s a select group of mostly larger paintings from the last few years along with a few very early small pieces that show the beginning stages of the evolution of my work.
One of the highlights for me is the first public showing of the piece shown above, The Internal Landscape, a painting familiar to regular readers of this blog. It is a very large painting, measuring 54″ high by 84″ wide. This large scale gives it a real presence in any space.
If you can make it to the Fenimore in the next month, the exhibit hanging in the adjacent gallery is American Impressionism: Paintings of Light and Life, which is a grand collection of paintings from the likes of Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam and William Merritt Chase. And if you’re looking for real star power, there’s even a piece from one of the most influential Impressionists, Claude Monet. Plus there are several other great exhibits not to mention the incredible Thaw Collection of American Indian Art, which is worth the trip on its own. I’m pretty excited to be in such grand company.
On November 7, I will be giving a talk on show after a luncheon, from 12:30 until 2:30, as part of the museum’s Food For Thought lecture series.
