Recurring Dreams of Light Through the Trees

Description

In this new series of paintings Gage Opdenbrouw veers from his usual realist approach, reducing imagery into a rhythm of vertical and horizontal brushstrokes; the result is a fresh perspective on American landscape painting.

Gage memorializes visions from his dreams and experiences. Light, space and painted marks are as much or more the subject than trees or forests, offering an opportunity for a more immediate and visceral response. The scale is larger in order to more physically engage the viewer, the colors brighter, the individual marks more apparent. They distill space, air, light and color, even time, and weave a tapestry of many layers of paint and decision. This fusion creates a shifting sense of space, at once quiet - though not still.

Gage received his BA from the Academy of Art University; he lives and works in SF. He is an award-winning artist academically and in several juried shows; he has had solo and group exhibitions nationwide since 2001.
