Peter Fiore's exhibition: "Coastal"

Our current exhibition features Peter Fiore, a wonderful artist from New York who currently holds a position at New York's School of Visual Arts.  Titled "Coastal," this exhibition stays true to name, with paintings of various marsh and beach scenes.  These paintings would make a perfect addition to any coastal getaway house, or for our fellow Richmond residents, the prospect of bringing the coast into your land-locked home. 

Here is one of my favorite works from the exhibition, titled "Shore at Sunset."



Fiore's magnificent use of color in this scene is a source of transcendence for the viewer: is that snow on the marsh... or simply Fiore's evocation of water, dimly lit at dusk?  Come in to Brazier Gallery throughout the month of April to muse over more of his lovely works.


One of the best things about working at Brazier Gallery is the opportunity to showcase great artists from all of the country, and Fiore is no exception!
