Artist reception Saturday, April 2 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm; exhibition April 1 - May 1, 2016
GWALTNEY, a one person exhibition of paintings by Chris Gwaltney opens at Seager Gray Gallery in Mill Valley on April 1, 2016. There will be a reception for the artist on Saturday, April 2 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.
For Gwaltney, the figure is expressed as a gesture, a presence simply articulated with line and stroke, often seen as walking alone or in relation to one or more figures. He builds and sketches on the canvas, taking away what is unnecessary, paring down the visual language. In this - and in his interest in color relations, he might be compared to Milton Avery, although he is more likely to site artists like Diebenkorn and Oliveira, particularly in the most recent works.
