October 29–December 19
Bancroft Gallery—Body Language—National Show, Juried by George Nick (For delivery of art instructions, click here)
Opening Reception: October 29, 6–8 pm
Nationally recognized as a leading realist painter, George Nick's work is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Hirshhorn Museum; and the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., as well as many others.
In March, 2007, the Danforth Museum of Art (Framingham, MA) mounted George Nick: Spirit of Place featuring paintings executed by Nick in Rome in 2005. In a foreward for the exhibition's catalog John Updike wrote “In his most recent work, my impression is, he steps back from the virtuosic looseness and dash of the premier coup method into something like the precision with which he was portraying middle-class houses, solidly carved by sun and shadow, thirty years ago. New paintings of sun-splashed domestic interiors, of Back Bay perspectives, of an antique tractor in snow and a retired fighter plane in a blue-tinted hangar all give us a third dimension soaked in light and a truthfulness so simultaneously blunt and intricate that we marvel....George paints like a young man just discovering the appearances of things, discoveries that have nothing to do with the ego of the artist but everything to do with the world’s constant overflow of color and form.”
George Nick currently teaches at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
