Description for the show:
Recovering the
American Sublime
New Paintings by Erik Koeppel and Lauren Sansaricq in
Historical Context
Pace Galleries of
Art at Fryeburg Academy
Fryeburg, Maine
Opening Reception - May 6, 2017 from 4
to 7 p.m.
The essential thesis of the 19th
century American landscape painter was that by deep reflection upon the beauty
of nature, one may ease their weary soul of the troubles inherent to a social
being thrust into the industrialized world. Today, as humanity travels further
from nature into stark modern interiors and cyberspace, artists Lauren
Sansaricq and Erik Koeppel believe that a powerful vision of nature is more
needed than ever before. They have thus devoted their minds to reviving an art
whose intention is to bring the beauty of nature back to the forefront of human
consciousness.
In this exhibition, the paintings
of Koeppel and Sansaricq are displayed in juxtaposition with 19th century
landscape paintings of the White Mountains. As the couple shares a studio in
Jackson, NH, White Mountain subjects are prominent among scenes of New England,
and even works from their travels west. The historic paintings are on loan from
the collections of the Jackson Historical Society, and Bethel Historical
Society, as a promised gift of Randall H. Bennett. Many of the contemporary paintings
are available for sale.
The Pace Galleries of Art are open Tuesdays and Thursdays
from 10 am to 1 pm (or by appointment). Call the box office at 207-935-9232 to
schedule a visit.
Thank you, and hope to see you at the show!
