Edgewater Gallery on the Green TJ CUNNINGHAM: landscapes & Still lifes on display in October 2015 Opening Reception: Friday October 9th, 5-7pm Painting Demonstration Saturday October 10th, 1-3pm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the month of October, Edgewater Gallery on the Green is pleased to exhibit TJ Cunningham's latest body of work: Landscapes and Still Lifes, New Haven, Vermont native TJ Cunningham has been painting professionally for the past five years. For an artist still in his twenties, he has created an impressive number of truly stunning pieces. Adept at painting landscapes en plein air, still lifes in the studio, and portraiture, Cunningham declares that he enjoys painting directly from life far more than painting from photographs, " my greatest fulfillment comes from creating through direct observation." As a result, the work he creates feels life like to the viewer. His Vermont scenes, whether of a place familiar to the viewer or not, transport one into that space effortlessly. It's no wonder this young talent has become so highly collected in such a short period of time. "The number of things that I find aesthetically compelling has grown very broad. Still, an authentic portrayal of light and color are the goals whether the subject is the beautiful variation of yellows in a sunflower's petals or gleaming, reflected light on a rain-soaked horse. The body of work that comprises this show represents many of my favorite motifs in the Vermont landscape and a selection of still life's that I completed in my studio. Every time I paint I strive to create something more meaningful than all proceeding work. This show is the culmination of the over 200 paintings created in the last five years, and each of them represents all that I have learned." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edgewater Gallery will host an opening reception on Friday October 9th, from 5-7pm, during the final Middlebury Arts Walk of the 2015 season. Saturday October 10th, TJ Cunningham will be back in the gallery for a live painting demonstration from 1-3pm. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "TJ Cunningham: Landscapes and Still LIfes" will be on view at Edgewater Gallery on the Green in October.
