Pennsylvania-based artist Gilbert Gorski has returned for his fourth solo exhibition with us! Painting Trees features 24 new paintings that Gorski has spent the last 2 years creating. At the same time, Gorski was working on an art book titled “Painting Trees” that was published earlier this year.
His book is part instructional, part inspirational, and the culmination of Gorski’s seven-year journey to explore western Pennsylvania’s arboreal landscape through oil painting.
“Over the last seven years, I created paintings of trees and woodlands. It has been a blessing to pursue something that I have spent my life thinking about. The curiosity I had about where such a journey might lead is finally being satisfied.”
– Gilbert Gorski
Gorski’s latest collection of artwork remains focused on exploring the natural world and its beauty. In his exploration, he has stayed true to his technique while slightly evolving his compositions. In the last two years, we’ve started to see elements in his work reminiscent of the Art Nouveau and Vienna Secession periods. He’s begun using long and organic lines characterized by these periods. His paintings Lothlorien and Rookery are perfect examples.
He is rerouting his style from strict realism toward abstraction as an organizational element. In addition, his creative process has changed, he’s stopped taking photographs and has been drawing on-site more. The focus is to memorize his subject so he can maintain his rhythm while painting.
In essence, Gilbert Gorski’s Painting Trees is a vivid and magical feast for the eyes. There is so much detail to be found in each and every painting, it’s worth experiencing in person if you can!
This is the last few days to view the entire show, but the unsold work will remain in the gallery. You can view the show online by clicking here. If you’re interested in purchasing Gilbert Gorski’s book, “Painting Trees,” click here to find it on Amazon.
